And this is Barry's Stage X info...


Is this easier?

Just the Edelbrock heads. All flow data shown is SF1020 bench @ 28" - - same operator, same setup, no pipe on exhaust...good comparable numbers...

The stock Edelbrocks are just taken out of the box and flowed - no work at all. Certainly good enough for a mild stroker or a small displacement motor, but likely to run out of breath on a bigger cube or higher RPM combo.

The Stage X heads are completely untouched in the ports. The only changes are in the valves, valve job, and spring combination. The target customer is building a street oriented 427 or 428 stroker, adn does not want or need to spring for the fully ported package. This gives them a modest cost upgrade.

The CNC Edelbrocks are fully ported and have much larger cross sections - especially on the exhaust side. Definitely targeted toward big cube and higher RPM guys that are willing to sacrifice some low end response. And bigger coin too...
