Thinking outside the box
I know you're right, Daniel. You pointed out a lot of very true facts.... facts that I should have included in my original post. It's too bad they (EQ) can't use something like this as a "loss leader" as an image maker to build themselves a reputation in the high peformance marketing arena. As it stands, they're pretty obscure.
You can buy a set of 300+cfm aluminum Escalade, bone-stock, heads for an LQ-9 Chevy truck motor for $800.00, ready to bolt on.
You'd think that Mother Mopar would want to counter that with SOMETHING.
Paying more than double that for for some roughly equally-flowing (ported)aftermarket (Edelbrock) heads doesn't set right with me.... or, a lot of other people, I am sure.
I was just dreaming.... obviously. A waste of bandwidth, in the final analysis.
Thanks for a very useful, interesting and well-written post.
