What do you guys think would be a better choice for my car, the edelbrocks or the x heads? I currently have an LD 340 intake, Comp XE268 cam, Hooker competition headers with 2.5" exhaust, thermoquad carburetor and low compression 340. Would the power gained by the Edelbrock's be worth the $1400 for the heads? I'm on a tight budget so I don't want to spend the money if the gain wont be worthwhile. I dont have either set of heads right now so I'll be getting a set of either. Im trying to get this car to go 12's if possible.
Anyday now I should be getting the first set of RHS cast iron X heads in for evaluation. I'm thinking with a valve job, surface cut, and bow work they will be less than edelbrocks and make more HP than OOTB Eddy's. But I can't say that for sure just yet.... Remember too, most guys do a valve job and surface cut on eddy heads before they use them, adding to the overall cost of the eddy's. I'll post info just as soon as they come in!
