anyone gotten the Edelbrock heads yet??
I saw an ad for them also but no pricing. If those heads are competitively priced I sure wouldn't want to own stock in AFR. I believe AFR will rue the day that these heads are available.
It has been rumored, and I am unsure if it is true, that Edelbrock and Lingenfelter will not be jointly doing these heads (I heard Lingenfelter pulled out). If this is true, it may be the reason that these are slow to the market.

I talked to Lingenfelter and Edelbrock about two weeks ago and they said they are still waiting for the e.o. number. The guy at LPE said that the goal was to perform better and be cheaper than the AFR's. So we'll see if they come in at like $1500 a pair and run better I'll buy those before I buy the short block.

It's good to hear that Edelbrock will soon become a sponsor, needess to say it's long over due. In a way it's irritating that some of the large catalog companies continue to get a free ride. I'm not only talking about on this site but on many others. I mean it's not like the monthly sponsor fee is going to have a major impact on their botom line.
This is awsome, I hope the heads do come in at 1500, thatd be amazing, especially if they compare to the AFR's, however the AFR's dont flow that great out of hte box, there good but not awsome 205's
There going to be priced well 
I already talked to Dave at Edlebrock about them and they should right inline with AFR 205's...I'm going to get a set for the GTO when there avalable...

when you say that they are going to be inline with AFR is that performance wise or price wise.
Why dont you like Edelbrock products? I know that they are not the best performing, however they are usually better than stock and at an affordable price
