Default Edelbrock LSx Heads ?

So, at Infineon Raceway(Sears Point) today I asked one of the dudes behind the edelbrock display if they would be coming to market with a LSx head. To my surprise he said that they would and it should be released for the upcoming SEMA. Anyone hear anything about this?

Edelbrock always cast their own heads like AFR. This is great news when big aftermarket companies start making their own heads, hopefully Trick Flow will jump in now. Us consumers will only benefit from the competition. This also is good news (if true) because it shows aftermarket companies are taking the LS1 market serious enough to pump big money into R&D and tooling money to make LS1 products. The LS1 market is only going up.

I've heard that Edelbrock rumor for about the last three years. I've called them to substaniate it. The rumor was big flow for less than $1300. Hope the latest is true.

This is good news. The more heads in the market means lower prices for us.

TrickFlow is working on a set now. I had called out there last week and they said they are in progress to have them done, but it will be a little while.

These new heads will definetly help prices. And for us going stroker in the years to come, the heads will be there to make big hp numbers
