Alloy heads

Here's a good read for you. I figure the fellas at Trick Flow, Edelbrock, AFR, World Products and whomever else they quoted for this article probably have the knowledge, backround and expertise to commemt on aluminum vs cast iron cylinder heads.

Hopefully there's enough there for critical minds to think about while having their morning cup of 'joe'.
Or for some, their mid afternoon bottle of 'Iron City Beer'.

We all have our bias's and will always defend what works for us. The link below isn't an attempt to convince you from changing what works for you, but, to inform you what some reputable experts in the industry have found and are willing to share.

That's what I enjoy most about this forum, the different opinions on what works for some and not others. If it weren't for that, we'd all be stuck in the hamster wheel.

Take the time to read the following article and form your own opinion and remain open to others opinions.

Tinmannz out :)

Everyone agrees that aluminum transfers heat faster and so we assume it has a measurable effect in an internal combustion engine. Who has tested it in an internal combustion engine and reported the results? All of those "experts" claim something and none of them show any actual tests in an engine. Show me the tests!!!!! Here are mine! Where are yours/theirs?
