Mopar Action SB head article

I didn't realize the LT1 head was ballyhooed. The Ford GT-40P head is vastly superior and the LS1 head makes it look like a frigging joke. I guess it was a head that the stock Magnum could beat, so they picked it.

I did think their flowbench results with the EQ magnum were interesting. If that's even half accurate, thats the biggest bargain in performance heads for Mopar ever.

One of the Ford magazines actually ran a cylinder head shootout a couple of years ago where they took all the common Ford heads and gave flowbench and dyno results of each. I'm sure it was a *lot* of work for some poor bastard, but it was entertaining and informative.

I'd really like to see a dyno comparison of the EQ magnum and the Edelbrock Magnum on a 5.9 on an engine dyno.

:-D

I remember back in the old days (early '70s) the car mags drooled over the LT1 like it was the best small block ever produced. Of course, if Chrysler had put as much high performace work into their engines, they would have been as expensive as the Chebbies back then.

I agree that the next step Mopar Action should take is a dyno test with the heads on the same engine and then another dyno test to see which cam and induction and exhaust systems would work best with each combo to maximize the output of each design. Might be interesting.
