360 head choices. What's everyone running?

I hope I'm not hijacking the thread but I've been watching porting videos on youtube. I saw one the other day done by an employee of Edelbrock - was a bit over an hour long I think - anyway he was saying that when you buy their heads that they more or less have to have a porting job on them before you even use them. This really surprised me as I figured to spend that much on them and then before using them, you're supposed to port them too. As you can tell, I'm new to this but I've been reading a lot of articles on "bolt-on" improvements. None of these articles have mentioned doing the port job before using them. So when I saw the post regarding ProMaxx and flowing the best I was wondering if that is out of the box or after getting a port job first? (although I see where it was mentioned to throwing them on straight out of the box) thanks


I think you are thinking they need a valve job first and yes most of them aren’t the best. The ProMaxx valve job was nicer than most. lots of guys run Edelbrock heads out of the box with great success but then once in awhile you do find a tight valve guide that needs fixed. I personally would never run an Edelbrock head out of the box. My buddy finally has his ProMaxx heads on a running vehicle and he said it runs good but has never made it to the track yet.
