Pretty sweet deal, the Edelbrock heads allow the car to weigh 150 pounds less than iron. Any other combos get less HP with aftermarket heads? They must be a real awful "upgrade".

Ya know, I was under the impression that when this whole thing went down you had the option of using the "easier to find" aftermarket heads BUT with a 10 HP penalty!
Some how, the Mopar aftermarket heads were allowed to become a separate combo and are now judged by themselves. Probably had something to do with a prior NTD.

Hey, maybe the new guy in charge should have a look at straightening this mess out.
