Anyone install Edlebrock aluminum heads ?

Just as something to throw out there if you decide on the aluminum heads.. a couple of months ago Speedmaster was having their by yearly sales... I was able to get their fully loaded small block aluminum Edelbrock knock off heads for $820 to my door for the set.. you'll pay close to that for one head from Edelbrock.. and I'm only making this suggestion because you sounded like you're not trying to set the world on fire but just a bump in performance...
That was just an FYI not an attempt to change the subject... And the fact is either one people will suggest you have them looked at...
I'll go ahead and edit this with a picture, people like pictures.. remember that's both of them.. plus free shipping..

Also right now they have a promotion if you pay that 11722... They're giving a free Universal meeting it will fit a Magnum engine air-gap intake manifold as well a $226 value...

You’re right, I’m not looking for a stupid amount of hp increase. Maybe 50-100 hp. That’s the kind of answers I’m looking for. A local engine builder told me to stick with brand names when it comes to heads. While I would love to consider what you suggested. From what I understand, you take a large risk with anything else. If you have to have new off name brands machined, etc. You’re right where you were in cost had you just bought a brand name like Edlebrock. I’ve heard through a lot of research and a local builder I trust. The Edlebrocks are bolt on right out of box. It’s hard to trust cheaper brand names, if it’s going to cost a few more hundred to have them looked at or addressed.
