That's pricey! I suspect they'll be getting a CARB certification soon.

Has anyone tried these heads yet?

remember when ported factory heads were $3500?

The Edelbrocks are a new casting also, and you know they make quality stuff. Just the name alone will probably sell many pairs.

Plus the CNC program they use is from Lingenfelter. Another big name, and those guys know a little about these LS1's.

it will be a long time before i'll pay 2700.00 for a new head unless quite a few people have some "proven" results.i'm a machinist,i know about how long it takes to machine aluminum and even though the cnc machines are very expensive 2700.00 sounds way too high.

You might as well buy an ugly turbo charger and use your stock heads.

Those Summit Edelbrocks better be up 30-40 hp on everyone else for that price. I'm sure they won't be.

Does anyone actually know that these in fact don't provide enough gains for the money or is the bashing just b/c it's a lot of money?
