Edelbrock Performer rpm head or E-streets

[Corndiddly]

Like the title says are these heads any good for the money? I was going to do gt40 heads, but I had to pull the motor early and the gt40s are not done getting ported. Any other heads good for the money?

Any aftermarket heads are going to be an upgrade from gt40's......AFR and Trick Flow are two companies to look into

trick flow and afrs are alittle out of my price range at the moment.

Ive read that the valvesprings that come with the E-Streets aren't optimal. They will require a valvespring upgrade.
Between the two I'd go with the RPM heads.

Trick flows are cheap now only like 1100 or something

TFS for sure, by the time you upgrade the springs on the Eddy's you could have bought the TFS heads

Ive heard the same thing about the springs on the Eddys..

I guess I'll have to save my penny's and get trick flows down the road. Is it hard to change the heads with the engine in the car?

 

[whiplash473]

heads aren't a one hour job but most people change them in the car

Alright, Im just making sure its not a real PITA. Any easy way to check deck and head warp?

There are other GREAT heads to be had besides the much ballyhoed AFR/TFS variety.

1) RHS heads
2) Canfield heads
3) Brodix heads

What kind of power can you make with 170cc trick flow heads?
