Go become a member of Motor Trend On Demand if you are not already. it like 3 buck a month!
Then watch this video from Engine Masters: They take and identical head that was available in alu and iron.
It was a vary well sorted out test. Worth the 3 buck membership and all the great other programs(I'm sounding like a salesman:BangHead::D)
