Aluminum Heads


Picked up a set of Edlebrock heads a few weeks ago for a good price. Now this is a huge boost for the car. Replacing the iron heads currently will net 40lbs of weight savings off the front of the car, which is huge for me at this point as weight savings on the front of the car have become slim-pickings. Regarding airflow the iron heads are poor in comparison to the corvette aluminum heads which were introduced in late 86, mine being an 85. Now with these being an improvement over the vette aluminum heads I can expect a significant performance improvement (Refer to the link for flow comparisions http://www.purplesagetradingpost.com/sumner/techinfo/heads1.html#GM%20L98%20Vette). Once I add roller rockers to the combination even more gains can be expected.
Ported SuperRam intake, Edlebrock base and Edlebrock RPM heads!

Now I just need time to do all this work.
