Also, unless I missed it, they didn't mention the port ccs after Dulcich was done hacking on them, so it's more like an apples to oranges, and then oranges to grapefruit comparison. Makes the whole initial test look foolish. Oh yeah, I bet the 1.6 rockers didn't help anything either. I'm glad these guys don't work for NASA.
Well I agree that there not employed by NASA as well. But there show is still good at certain levels. I like watching them and I don’t go crazy picking it apart.
These guys are putting together a show that shows some cool stuff that the new guy and average hot rodder can do themselves or have copied for them. The show isn’t at a level that you would like to see it at. A really scientific go at engine building, cam, intake, carb, rocker arm Swaps. A real how to show and such good things.
Naaaa, these slap stick humored fellas just wanna have fun and not get to stupidly serious with things. They do show some Good stuff.
What would would have been nice to know in addition to head cc’s would have been air flow. To see the numbers in .050 steps to 1 inch lift. Why 1 inch? Why not?
I think the 1.6 rockers helped. Why? I think the head was still flowing well at the new lift and they took advantage of the flow that way. Otherwise, I really don’t see a point. If you can grab a few more cfm in air & fuel flow, why not?
Personally I think the show is best viewed with the brain remembering that this is entertainment. And a tiny dose of science.
Rumblefish360 said" "Your right, they corrected that later. You ***** and complain to early. LOL!"
Oh yes, you are correct, Rumble! My mistake. Thanks for pointing out the later video.
OK, for those who are keeping score, the final horsepower numbers were:
Mopar small block stroker: 531 hp.
Ford small block stroker: 472 hp
All hail Ma Mopar!
No problem Bill. It made me laugh. Thanks for listing the final tally.

W-2 are other W series still available
I don’t know what W series heads are still available but ....
It is a shame the W5 wasn’t handled better or still being made. That was an excellent aluminum street, street/strip race head.
No matter how you slice it, the Edelbrock head is simply a really pavement head that has the ability to perform well to really really good. It isn’t a race head even though a few of us have figured out how to go pretty fast without higher dollar parts.
