edelbrock heads

This is totally misleading. With the EQ's with 2.02" valves, they flow slightly less than the stock Edelbrock Performers except at .400" lift. They are very close in flows across the board with the Edelbrocks having a negligible edge.

With a full spring kit, the EQ's with 2.02' valves and their installed valve spring kit run around $1421 for a pair, including shipping here to VA. With the Autozone discounts that you can get, the Edelbrock 60779's complete are around $1422, shipped, and with 5% sales tax paid. This is HARDLY 2/3 the cost.....but you do have to time your purchase to catch the AZ discounts to get this Edelbrock pricing; the Hughes EQ prices are everyday prices.

How is it misleading, according to Hughes ... http://www.hughesengines.com/TechArticles/1headflowchartscomparisons.php

Edelbrock stock flow at .500" is 240 for Magnum with 2.02" intake

EQ heads stock flow at .500" is 252 for Magnum with 1.92" Intake

EQ heads flow at .500" is 277 with 2.02" Intake

EQ heads with upgraded springs $1000 outflow Edelbrock for $1500. If you are talking about 2.02 EQ then that is more money but over 275 flow, clearly more than the Edelbrocks. I wouldnt dream of running Edelbrocks without a complete teardown, redo guides and valve job. Edelbrock burned me twice on brand new heads that wouldnt hold water to check chamber volume, tight guides etc...add $350+ for that. I was also using "today " prices for all heads, I think Jegs or scummit for Edelbrock price.
