You learn something new everyday. How long will an LA small block hold up at 550 horsepower

I tried to keep
It simple. Lol

never forgot this…back 25 odd years ago was at the Indy swap meet.
was looking at buying a set of Edelbrock heads.
went by the Indy cylinder head booth, and told them what I had up my sleeve. A stroker 340 with Eddie heads to bracket race and street cruise( always been my MO..LOL,)
any how Herb and Ken Lazzeri(sp) heard what I had in mind. Herb says…. “ Stay away from a drag strip with those heads”
He and Ken then show me the brand new Indybrock heads they had just brought to market. Offset Eddie’s.
they said buy a set of these and you won’t be out of place at the track.
In short, they were full of ****. Those heads over time have proved to be maybe a tenth better than ported Eddie’s…maybe…….
The stay away from the track comment was dumb as a box of rocks, especially from a guy who should know better than to say something like that.
They just wanted to sell what they were brewing up( which I don’t believe ever took off very well)
I ended up buying Eddie’s from Hensley, had Matt do a non full on port job, and was very happy running 10’s at the track with them.
