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.

Same exact thing my engine builder said do not buy offshore stuff! He was very adamant about it and when I called other reputable places I know of in town they were pretty much in the same frame of mind.. also take into consideration they are comfortable with these Edelbrock heads and have had good results with them and have their own liabilities to deal with as well.. but also take into consideration like I did for just one second the engine builders here on the Forum that have had them and scene not many issues and definitely none that would make your car blow up.. also the member that's doing 10 second quarter miles with them consistently... and other members who have put them on with no problems... There was some bad stories none confirm that I know of but bad nun the last from a long time ago but none recently.. On the other hand the opposite is true of Edelbrock as it seems their quality is going down like mentioned.. and again everybody will tell you to have them looked at regardless of what brand you buy even trick flow... Remember machine shops are in business to make money not to lose it.. and as a side note I have way more than $820 into my stock heads... Again let's not change this into a Speedmaster thread there's one on the Race part of the Forum that you can look up that we've discussed all this back and forth...
Back to Edelbrock vs Machining stock heads...
