Anyone ever get dyno numbers or any proof that the Edelbrock headers work? I can't seem to find any info on these. I am wonsering if it is a good step up from Hookers.

Guys.... go with QTP's. I have them and am trying to get Edelbrock to buy them back from me due to the coating failing within the first 500 miles. Also the driver's side header is hitting the motor mount. I had a vibration from the start when I installed these that I thought might be related to ypipe clearance ect. Finally I found that the primary was stuck next to the motor mount.
I'll let you know how they proceed.
My most recent email was this:
"
Hello :
I would recommend having the part returned for warranty evaluation. Then we can see if it fits in the jig, and conduct a better inspection of the coating issue you have. Here is the address information>
Edelbrock Warranty
Thank You,
David"
I replied back that I thought it was unacceptible to remove the headers and return them, leaving my car inoperable while they decided whether to warranty them or not.
I'll post some pics tonight of what they look like after only about 250 miles.
I'll keep you posted.

I have a bit of a vibration also. I'm pretty sure mine is due to k-member rubbing though. The passenger side also looks like it rests on the bellhousing. As for proof that they work... i assume they work. I don't think any better than any other brand though. My first time to the track after installing them (i did a ported tb at the same time) I went from a 13.88 at 102.XX to 13.22 at 109 (stock street tires). I agree with Alchemist... when I have to money to redo everything I will get kooks or qtps.

Hey guys... here is what I'm talking about....
As you can see, the passenger side primary has totaly started to flake. And then take a look at the driver's side primary. It is literally sitting next to the motor mount and vibrates against it causing massive problems.
