I love them! They offer many advantages---yep you can port up an Eddy but the ability to really put a good spring package on there and about any std offset BB rocker is the deal!

Stick with the eddies, port them if you wish, but there isn't enough to gain by going from a standard edelbrock to an Indybrock. Thats my opinion anyways and I own a set of Std. Eddies and a set of Indy -2's -Dustin 67 Dart, 9 second, 392" G3 Hemi 68 Barracuda 340 F/SA

How fast have you gone with them? I have gone 9.76 at 138 with them on a 416 at 2975lbs with no real tuning at around 800 ft DA I think I can get a little more out of them.

I went from [Email]11.30s@118[/Email] to [Email]11.00@122and[/Email] the car was 110lbs heavier since I addded a cage at the same time I switched the heads. Also I only got 2 runs in on the indybrocks where I have many runs on the standard eddies and were tuned in. Rest of my combo was. It was a huge difference I thought even in the seat of pants. Also this was all with crappy 1.65 60' times with the tight converter. 408 c.i. 10.7 compression comp xr286 roller. 3k stall 4.10 gear All steel street duster. I would also say there was more to be had out of my standard eddies. So if I were to do it again I would probably just fully port the standard heads if you already have them.
