Reply to "Edelbrock Clevor"

I never said the CHI heads were not good. I did say it all depends on what you are after. Eventually people will want power levels that will be higher than a stock CHI will flow. In that case porting will be neccesary. I doubt there is a head line in existence that has never had port work done to it. I am not siding with any company. I just feel bashing a company because the "out of the box" performance figures are not equal may be hasty. I also feel that basing a heads quality and performance on an engine buildup challenge may not be the most accurate guage of quality. I dont even need to say there are a lot more factors to engine hp and torque than heads. Engine builders will certainly have preferred equipment that matches the other parts they are using but once custom work starts its anyone's game. Heck it even says on the CHI site some guys modified the ports in the heads. Once agian I am not even remotely saying CHI's are not good (and they may very well be better than Edelbrock) just that it all depends on what you are after at the end.
