well they aren't going to be cheap, .. I'm not a sponsor here, am I even allowed
to quote prices?, .. .. I'd have to guess around $4k bare, .

They are available now, .. with either a converted cast manifold ( expensive ) or sheetmetal.

Guy on YB told me $8000+ for a ready to bolt on set.

Add another 3-4000 for an intake.

$8,000 plus.....I wonder why head manufacturers never price their parts so more people can buy them. Thats a ridiculous price. Simple economics proves that if the price of a product is wanted by many.....you will make more profit by selling more units at a lower price, rather than less units at a high price. Very few people will be buying those.

Wierd.

Well if you wanted to go fast, I guess you should get some $1,050 stage 2.6 CNC ported heads then. And show up at some headup stuff
I'm sure guys going to run a head like this are shopping with running one of the 224 cams, that have sold a lot of them too.

I wonder if I could run these on a stock bottom end to save some money?

This is race car stuff, winning costs what it costs.

Wierd.

These parts cost money to tool and manufacture, $250k 5 axis machine etc. their may only be 10% markup at that price. So its not a choice of if it could be sold for less.

ET performance sold canted valve heads for basically same price.

Unfortunately profit leads to good customer service, within a good company.

From my understanding these heads are casted by edelbrock but finished by an outside machinist. $$$

I don't think the $2000 rocker arms were mentioned either?

Theirs plenty of lesser expensive options around.

That's about normal for a typical high end race head, ...
set of BBC big chiefs with Ti valves are that plus, ..
good set of fully decked out 13* or 9* wedge heads
can get close to that, ..

The really trick heads for comp eliminator can go over $14k, nhra pro stock $26K per set with a two set min.

There's not nearly as much profit in this stuff as many think, it takes a TON of machines work, time, labor
and expensive cnc machines, .. .. plus the infastructure
to hand customer service.

, . besides that, I haven't seen any discussions on builds that could use this.

I wonder how the price will compare to the GMPP LSX-DR heads when they become available. They are rated at 430-in/280-ex

GM also tends to be more conservative with the flow numbers for their heads.
