You would think they should be 2 tenths or maybe a hair more better than well done eddies are... But until somebody throws a good car and combo under them to prove it, nobody knows.

Admittedly my set won't be a good example until I get my combo closer to optimized with a bigger (higher lift) cam and larger tube headers....and that may be a while. Built the Rocky as a play toy snd not as a test bed. Not often I do it but I 'wanted' the Airwolfs to be able to assess them, not that I 'needed' them.
I bought them in anticipation of a larger 440" small block underway, anf they wound up being a couple hundred more out of pocket over the Shady Dell stage 2's I had and sold. I bought Bryce's actual Engine Masters Dyno motor article set.

Very true. Will never know what just head swap would do.

I don't have any apple or oranges but I like the the way the car runs. Haven't had any problems with them and everything bolted up. After the season is over I'll put in my old cam and find out.
Do you mind listing your engine and car details.
As accurate as possible. weight, gearing, trans type, headers, conv stall.
engine specs. comp, gas, special ring pac, vacuum pump, carbs, intake, fuel octane, ect, ect.
THANKS.

It's a Pro Comp Electronics Chinese copy of an Edelbrock head... it has powdered metal seats 9not great for life under hard use & big spring pressures) ultra cheap Pro Comp soft bronze guides....
& then They get CNC'd with a very large Edelbrock port program & it magically becomes an "airwolf" head....
Do they make power? I'm sure they do.... so do really big port Edelbrock heads....
Is the castings & parts of a lesser quality? Yep....
FULLY ported W2 is going to make more power than the CNC Airwolf head.....
Have you considered running for office??
Fully ported W2's may make more power... and they weigh more, and they require offset rockers, and they require a new set of headers, and a new intake manifold.
The biggest advantage to edelbrocks over the airwolfs are, you can actually get them! 9 weeks as of now, waiting on a set of airwolfs, so if everyone is in the same boat I am, it's easy to understand why there aren't more on the track yet.

According to Dr J's they come with ductile iron seats, and they install their own valve guides.

My heads have new ductile iron seats and guides that Bryce installed, I have no complaints at all with the quality and materials in my set of Airwolf heads.
