Hey there,

I just found these while browsing Edelbrocks site. Has anyone heard anything good or bad about these?

The heads don't look much better than stock, and I would be leary of their claim of 70+ horsepower. Plus they do not provide any flow numbers, so I would take their claims with a huge grain of salt. Better to stick with ported stock or AFR heads for the money.

 

Hmm.... I found another thread with flow numbers

#61909 @ .100 : 61/52
@ .200 : 117/100
@ .300 : 174/140
@ .400 : 220/167
@ .500 : 242/184
@ .600 : 232/192

not very impressive at all.

here is the other thread: http://web.camaross.com/forums/showt...hreadid=163054

 

Like AFR, edelbrock isnt out to make much power really, they just offer a decent/fairly safe upgrade. It's what the castings can handle that matters to me, and edelbrock stuff I've had in the past has been pretty beefy

I'd like to get ahold of a set of them .

 

yeah i have them on my car.....but to my defense i didnt put them on the previous owner did......but yea they are not good at all for the same price im sure you can get much better ones.

 

If I had the money I would probably get a set. They have the best of both worlds, a port that flows like a LT4 head, but has the port size of a stock LT1 head. You should get better #s with the Edels then with a set of LT4s.

 

I wouldn't mind seeing someone like Phil get ahold of a set and let us know what kind of potential they have...who knows, these could be the best flowing heads on a decent price out there...
