Horsepower limit for out of the box Edelbrock RPM heads

pittsburghracer said

I'm betting way more of the Trickflow heads will be sold because of related costs and most guys aren't interested in going as fast as the Edelbrock Victor is capable of. Victor heads take expensive rockers, new pistons, different intake, new or modified headers. And cost way more to begin with. I'm betting there sales are hurting so I would like to grab a set just in case they are discontinued.

The draw for the TFs is they are the first and only aluminum Mopar head that doesn't have bad quality control and sub-par hardware OOTB. The Eddys I got for my build were off a running engine but needed a full valve seat job, guides reamed, decks resurfaced, all new hardware and springs... the previous owner just bolted them on OOTB I'm surprised it ran decent at all. And yes there are many guys out there interested in an aluminum alternative to trying to fix up 30+ year-old iron heads or converting to a Magnum setup to run aftermarket iron replacements.

If I was more like you and had the means and experience to do my own cylinder head work my opinion might be different but I still have a ways to go to get to that level. Maybe in 10-15 years lol.
