Reply to "Edelbrock Clevor"

Ron - That is exactly the point, somebody should take a test mule short block or identical short blocks and test the stock out of the box Edelbrock head/manifold package vs the stock out of the box 3V CHI head/manifold package and have an apples vs apples comparison.

But I am so sure the CHI's would come out ahead I would be willing to bet money on it.

Why? Because the CHI 3V's absolutely have dominated the Engine Masters every time they competed. Not one professional engine builder selected the Edelbrock heads to compete with.

What's up with that? Not exactly a ringing endorsement of the Edelbrock Cleveland heads.

The Edelbrock head is a 190cc intake runner and so the closest comparison would be the CHI 185cc 3V. Edelbrock did not publish flow figures as far as I could see on their website. That might have given some basis for comparison with the CHI 3V.

CHI 3V 185's flow 290cfm at.600 lift, which is not a particularly radical lift these days.

If anybody has flow figures for the Edelbrock head in unmodified form, please chime in.

Flow figures are not the be all and end all, but they do give an indication of performance potential and some basis for comparison.

Who's your daddy now Vic! LOL!
