His is anFAST car so I believe the aluminum Edelbroxks are out.
But I agree that the ported iron heads are better than a Edelbrock head OOB.
This is what I said for a long while way back on people spending there money on the Edel. Head in looking for what many weee saying, just a little more power.
If doing a valve job on the stock valve and bowl porting with some short side work was cheaper, why the Edel head? The answer was almost always, because it’s lighter and normally accompanied by is cheaper.
I don’t know of anyone charging the (old) price ($1200 or so for the pair of heads) for the work I described above but…. As long as there happy!!!! Not my money being spent.
