Ported Edelbrock versus W2 out of the box !

true... but it is the only way we have to compare for conversations sake.
And even if my heads flow way better than another guys on the same bench he may run better due to the rest of his combo.
Its all just bench racing here for amusement and fantasy..

That it is!!

Just like dyno's.

It's always seemed to me that are a lot of Edelbrock haters here for some reason. Yes they had problems with tight valve stems, but like anything aftermarket they should be thoroughly checked out before bolting on. I bought mine used years ago, sent them to Curtis Boggs for porting and a valve job. They ran 11.60's on a hydraulic cammed, pump gas 340 in a 3240 pound 69 Dart. After five years I sent them to Ryan to freshen them up, he installed 2.055 intakes, new exhaust valves, five angle valve job and new springs. I built a pump gas 408 with a Hughes flat solid cam, Weiand X-Cellerator intake and the fresh heads. It ran high 6.50's at over 104 mph in the 1/8 on pump 93 in the same Dart at 3260# with a 4.10 gear. I suspect a 4.88 would've put it in the .40's.
