Default Re: Thoughts on accepted aftermarket heads for 350?

#1 Greg Hill; The Edlebrock heads are 185 cc’s on the intake runner. Who approves this stuff?
Follow the money............

# 2 Todd Hoven "Great thing about aluminum. You can weld it up, reprofile it, and cover it up. It will look like new and you probably pick up 30 hp at least. "
Think about it, Read between the lines.. this also applies to Aluminum Intakes...

# 3 "I was looking at them and the Dart look to be the best without going to the aluminum heads"
Don't count on it , if this deal stays at +5hp for replacement heads, the Iron will be way disadvantaged, esp if the combo has an Alum Intake. refer to comment #2

Obviously, no one who has a clue of stock eliminator made the decision to include these alum heads replacing factory cast iron. I'm not a chevy guy but now as I see it in the guide the 350 has choices of 4 replacement heads plus the original. As mentioned in another thread here on CR that potentially creates 5 sub combos of the same engine. In the future will we need 5 hp factors for the same engine? Yea, and this goes for all the Makes also, whether it's a Mopar Ford or GM.
