Mine work fine with a ported Victor junior intake.
They are about 500 more than a similar setup Trick flow. I paid to have mine milled, that is why they got up to 3k.
I have no issues using standard Harland Sharp rockers, same rockers I had on my Eddie heads.
I just think for the difference in power potential, the difference in money is negligible.
And the reliability certainly isn’t a concern, among other things these heads have completed drag week.
