Hmmmm... most people that run them seem to do so with a great deal of success. I don't really recall ever having spoken to anyone or read much on the boards that say the Eddy's are not a bolt-on deal. I guess if you're trying to go 9 seconds with them maybe but for most guys, OOTB Eddys are the best bang for the buck.



No one is saying EQ's are perfect, just a better deal at the moment because they do not require all sorts of machining to be able to utilize them to their fullest potential. Porting heads without re-engineering the valves is decidedly more straightforward than re-engineering the valve layout, then porting.



So then for 'most people' the EQ's would be a better deal since they don't require re-engineering the valve.



True, no one is disputing that. What is being discussed is that they have such good potential in raw form that it's really unfortunate that they can't be utilized to their fullest potential without a complicated work-around to a terrible design flaw.



Well, exactly. If BJR didn't have to do all the complicated stuff to the valves then it would have been just straight-up porting and bolt them on. Not sure what your point is. I don't know exactly what Mad Dart is doing with these but they seem like an odd choice for a serious effort exactly because of the silly design flaw.

Not sure what rocker choice he made but the FBO/racer brown stuff looks killer to me. I'd run that stuff without worry.

But anyway, why go into something knowing that they will have to be completely re-worked to get them to work like you want them to? Why not just start at a better point? There's other alternatives that would end up costing about the same with porting one all said and done. Seems like wasted effort and money to me but whatever, I'm sure they work great!

It's annoying that this product appears to have so much potential but someone somewhere dropped the ball on the valve layout. Why pay for that?
