I think the thing that makes the mopar heads so expensive is the port work/finish work they need. That cost is a little over 1200.00 more than chevy and ford heads of equal power potential.
That is a big problem!!

Exactly! The price per W2 head from Summit is $647. But that is a bare head. The cost of the gear to finish it is one thing. Now the cost to have it done and have have minor bowl cleaning as well, after all, where there already right? What the heck, bowl port it as well.

The tally goes up right fast. Worth it is IMO. But the pockets gotta be a bit deeper than a Edel./RHS head.

The lobes I chose are SMOOTH and extremely easy on valve train parts...similar to most of Cranes lobes. On a build like this, fast lobes should be worth another 10-15HP but won't live much over a year with regular street driving/drag racing.
I can get 5 years from these lobes/springs I use. To most guys, the longevity is worth it.

Wow! You just said what I get slammed for. And no one says BOO!
Been saying that for years. I guess telling people that a Crane cam is a good cam and they make them that way for a reason wasn't good enough.
After all, there the experts and I'm just some *** on the net that don't know squat.

Been sayin for awhile. Them ol'skcool guys know a little something.
