edelbrock heads

moper said

EQs are not a better head than the RPMs. They are similar and cheaper than RPMs. In terms of getting a set of heads to my quality expectation, and bolted to a running engine, EQs end up about $300 cheaper, and a solid 50lbs heavier than RPMs. At this level they would flow pretty much the same (minimal cleanup as part of the valve job), and the EQs are limited in cam size by available springs, and need more pricey rockers where the RPMs in most applications are not. Two separate intended uses IMO. EQs are for mild or stock Magnum replacement. RPMS could be that, or more depending on the prep.

EQ's are for mild or stock Magnum replacement? Ok, sure.... but Hughes doesnt think so. I guess you guys know more than guys that have a lifetime of experience building Mopars, a flow bench and dyno to back up their claims?

" 3) If you want to build serious power and have a budget (a what???), these heads
ported fully will build as much horsepower as any heads available (at this time)
without resorting to offset rocker arms."

I guess Dave (nor I) know **** about anything mopar.

I have been selling Edelbrock crap since mid 80's, well, until I quit selling it due to serious quality control issues and the worst customer support in the industry. Half the Edelbrock heads I have sold needed a complete valve job, the others just needed 1/2 a complete valve job. Not good for a shop to tell the customer, "your new $1500 heads need $375 so you can use them. " or when they bolt them on and return in a few days billowing blue oil smoke out the exhaust. I have not had any issues with EQ.
