Reply to "Edelbrock Clevor"

Ok let me get this straight.

CHI's that make power right out of the box without additional porting, that have ports optimized by hours and hours of research, and are proven to make power,

or

Edelbrock heads that you are saying need to be ported to make power. So either the owner of the heads or their machinist will now have to spend an undetermined number of hours and maybe get the port optimized?

What is more cost effective?

Before I had my Clevor built I read every small block Ford engine build published within a period of two years. The CHI's dominated the Engine Masters competition every time they competed. Finally they had to change the rules to give some other heads a chance at winning. That should speak volumes. It is very easy to build a 600+hp 408 inch Clevor with stock out of the box CHI heads. I wonder how much porting you would have to invest in the Edelbrock castings to make them perform equally. My guess would be many, many hours.

All Edelbrock seems to offer is marketing muscle.
