I to just recently purchased a set from Brian at IMM fully asssembled and preped as per the info on his website, he also recommended the Comp cam combo to run with my 340 build --great guy to deal with--will soon know how much power they make.

Hey Skips Dart,I,d be interested in how much the final tally is for having the RHS prepped heads shipped to Ontario from Brian in Cali.After this season I,ll be freshening up my 410 and might get the RHS heads if shipping isn,t a deal breaker.PM me if you don,t mind sharing the cost of shipping,border fees,tax.Thanks
 
Stroked340, why don't you go heads up with Brian with his so-so iron heads :mrgreen:, that'll be funny!

I don't need to up against anybody to know that Aluminum heads have far more potencial then iron heads..i'll tell ya what have Brian full prep a set of Edelbrocks and run those against the "super duper" rhs's see which heads go faster..if the car don't go faster with the aluminum heads something is wrong..on a side not why does EVERYBODY sell their high horsepower crate/built engines primarily with aluminum heads..guess why THEY MAKE MORE POWER!!!
 
Some one on this site had a profile shot of some imm prepped rhs heads and they looked pretty symmetrical, I looked for it, but couldn't find it.

I would go for the IMM heads, they have behive springs so you are less likely to have a rocker/spring retainer interference problem, better valves and a ton of positive reviews.

JUST BUY THEM FROM IMM!

Stroked 340, you have a serious comprehension problem, this isn't a thread about how awesome eddies are, help this guy out or start your own thread.

Not necassarily, its more of a marketing tool, the "wow" factory, that doesn't make it have "more power", it just sells engines. & just because there aluminum, that also doesn't mean you can port them & make "better" power over irons, There are a few aluminums around that have crappy port design, porting them in most cases will only make them worse then they already are.
 
Brians set up with NO PORTING, no guide box or pinch work, same valve size as the Ede's, will kick the crap out of an OOTB set up Ede head. PERIOD! You want start spending money on aggressive porting, then the ede's may have an advantage, no way, no how in the stock port configuration or that crappy valve job.

I know it's tough for some... this isn't a ede head thread, it's a question about where to buy RHS heads. Call Brian, he's can take care of you on a RHS heads.

More wasted bandwidth coming up! LMAO
 
Dollar for Dollar spent the RHS Heads are the Best SBM Bang for the buck Period. No way No how will any head at this time come close for $$ Spent, that is just the way it is! This FACT can not be argued if you have any common sense! 2+2 is still 4 :mrgreen:
 
The only advantage in Aluminum heads is weight and repairable, if you had a eddy head in aluminum and one in cast iron they would both flow the same but the cast iron one would make slightly more power due to holding the heat in the combustion chamber better, thats why you always want to increase the CR when changing from iron to aluminum, aluminum sucks the heat out of the combustion process much quicker, so if your only around 9 to 1 and are not wanting to change pistons i would look for a good iron head, if your open to CR change go aluminum but Eddys wouldn't be my first choice.

I wasn't talking about just Edelbrocks i was refering to aluminum heads in general..i currently run Edelbrocks with none of the problems you've described..they have their limits too so when i step up to wanting more power i'll going a different route.

I believe you mentioned that in another thread, good deal.
Other have not been so fortunate.


you can get away with running more compression with aluminum heads too..and they do cool a LOT quicker
Click to expand...

Thats what less thermal conductivity will contribute to along with closed chambers, in which production magnum heads and the RHS heads already have.




which comes in handy when you need to work on the engine between rounds on a hot summer day

The heat go's somewhere, that somewhere is thin air and also the cooling system, the block and all other non aluminum internals will still be hot, as would the rocker shafts,bolts,headers,valves & bits till the aluminum pulled it out....whos got the stop watch?lol
So the aluminum heads really don't have the engine cooled in a significantly shorter amount of time....though the heads will be 'touchable', all the stuff attached will be just as hot.
Besides...if the heads have to come off at track, you're mostly done racing... unless you are ron johnson and have a race team and 250k worth of trailer/team members and a title/championship at stake.


..and as for the aluminum heads just being lighter geez,is that the ONLY reason the pro classes run them ie:top fuel,funny car,pro stock ect???
Click to expand...

light is the word here, who wants to run a land barge down the track at 180-200+ mph at 4-6 seconds, aluminum is easily repairable 'in most cases' and if everyone else ran aluminum heads and you run iron...you would have to lighten the car in other ways to make up for it *race weight* *UNLESS THE IRON FLOWS MORE*
top fuel? In that example you gave it would be like running a marathon in sandles while everyone else wears nikes/new balance 'running shoes'.....and look at the fact that there are no factory heads that would flow the 400-500 cfm that is necessary for top fuel....and you do know that aluminum is cheaper/easier to cast right?


...as far as the misconception comment any builder will tell ya' if you want to make most power possible aluminum heads have the most potencial of doing it...but you use what you want...
Click to expand...

Well that is because we are talking about 40+ year old motors that never had aluminum heads for starters, then for 2nds they don't make an aluminum head for a 40+ year old mopar v8 that flows less than a stock head....so in that angle of corse that 'any builder' advice has merit, but it does not cover everything under the sun.

It is what it is, and nothing more.

wow , i didn't mean to cause such an uproar

my statement about 4 - 500 dollars diff was comparing the edelbrock heads at 1400.00 to a set of 1.92's at 875.00 from indy or hughes which was what I thought would be the best application / power range for the truck. I just recently found out about Brian and will definitely pick his brain for his recomendation.

I was looking for the best reputable dealer because there coming to Canada and big coin for shipping, duty, brokerage, etc to send back if unsatisfactory

Also , I was wondering about the heat dissipation through aluminum but you still have other steel parts on your heads that have a diff coefficient of expansion - the cast irons seemed to be more user friendly - keep it simple

It would be nice if the eddys came in the victor rpm like for the big blocks.

Oh that's some Fu*ked up stuff right there! There are more people runnin sb vs bb yet we (guys using sb) can't get the good stuff. I'd buy a set of victor eddys if they came out for sb

You didn't, some people just like to champion things to death and lose focus of what we are actually 'trying' to discuss.lol
At the same time if other don't counter those side tracked preference posts, as I call them, people may get thing confused and end up going backwards.
We need as many smart, down to earth ,no bs members here as possible, Im sure we'll get there some day...

Brian is a good guy, good rep.
I would buy from him if it were me.

Yeah, but in the world according to Istrokeit340 where the sky is green, women have *&%#@^, men have (%)@&%, and bears use the toilet, edelbrock heads are somehow a more attractive deal than an RHS head.

Whatever...

People are entitled to their own opinions, but not their own facts.

I wouldn't call it )G%@*^ up, i'll call it stupid, there RPM head is already highly priced & IMO isn't any better then a factory RHS head other then weight (wooopy), I would hope that "maybe" 1 day Indy/RHS team up & build an Aluminum head to compete with the Eddy RPM for alittle less money & flow better #s too boot, that would be nice.

I have a current set that EVERY single bolt hole needs a heli-coil.... yeah that's fun! NOT!!!

They are easier to fix, if you say, lose a cheap rod and have a piston bang the head.



Why are Aluminums even being mentioned... nothing to do with the OP's question.

Well...put in 12 heilcoils in today....was alot of fun....actually 3 last night and 9 today...
