Advice: Solid Roller or Hydraulic Roller for street car
I agree it would be hard to justify buying edlebrocks or similar priced heads over TF.
On one hand, the price is pricey and because of the name and specs everyone knows, the head gets elevated up and is deemed overkill with a list of items not meeting that person’s expectations.
(That person viewing the head/engine, not the owner.)
The slew of questions start up;
Question(s) ———————— Questionsrs Reply
What’s the compression ratio —— not enough
What cam, ———— not enough/wrong cam
Why that intake —- wrong intake
Etc… it’s all a load of crap.
Reality, what ever you’re happy with, use and duck the rest.
All things considered, (and years back) I somewhat championed the oem iron head to a degree. Think about it! If a OEM head can run in the 10’s, then why does everyone have this big “Must/Have/Need” of an aluminum head on there street driven car? It’s even more hilarious when the car never or rarely ever is at the track.
To me speedmaster if still cheap are a good stock replacement head.
It would be worth looking into.
