Horsepower limit for out of the box Edelbrock RPM heads

pittsburghracer said

I'm betting way more of the Trickflow heads will be sold because of related costs and most guys aren't interested in going as fast as the Edelbrock Victor is capable of. Victor heads take expensive rockers, new pistons, different intake, new or modified headers. And cost way more to begin with. I'm betting there sales are hurting so I would like to grab a set just in case they are discontinued.

And that very thing sealed it for me. I don’t understand why they made such a head that requires such a huge effort to use. It’s bad enough with the old W 2/5 series head for regular guys to afford. IMO, they didn’t have to go that far. The header issue is insult to injury. They were saying W5 exhaust but there not exactly fitting the bolt pattern. So TTI stopped making the W5 flange in favor of the Victor.

The Victor head didn’t need to change the exhaust pattern, or change the valve angle. I’m also NOT purchasing a set to modify those issue just to use them.
