speedmaster stuff pulled from Summit racing shelves

John, it's not so much about where it's made as it is about copying someone else's design. China made is a fact of life everywhere in the world today. If speedmaster was paying for a license to reproduce or a royalty, it would be a different story.

Would you be happy if someone took a set of you ported heads, digitally mapped them, then reproduced your work on a cnc machine and started doing heads for customers a lot cheaper than you can?

Sadly, our economy for the most part moved from manufacturing to service years ago. Yes, we all contributed to it.


Edelbrock didn’t reinvent the wheel when they produced the RPM head. The took dimensions of a stock cast iron head. Same rocker shafts, same rockers fit, 2.02 valve size, 1.60 valve size, same intake bolt pattern, same exhaust bolt pattern, same alternator bolt pattern, ect. Edelbrock didn’t reinvent the wheel here guys.
