Don't take this as a bash, because that's not what it is at all. I've heard that some enthusiasts have gotten decent gains and are pretty happy with the eddies, but it seems that they are few and far between. I am just trying to present the facts through my experiences with the Edelbrock TES headers/Y.

I've replaced wires 4 different times due to frying them on the Edelbrock headers.

mine went 13.7@103.3mph bone stock with 85,000 miles on it, 93 A4 3.23 car.......oh and BTW.....another edelbrock TES HATER here, i would throw them out if i were you, the design sucks, plug acess sucks, they dont flow for ****, and did i mention that they leaked ALL THE TIME! the flanges warped or something i guess, had constant exhaust leaks, i replaced the gaskets about 10 times before taking them out and throwing them in the trash can.

Jon, those are the headers i pulled off of that Blown LT1.... Very shitty, flow like *** and are just not worth the money. I wish i could say they are better but they are not. Flowtechs are usually better then the TES Eddie's headers. Not to mention this car is just like Jons
Blown, cam and 100 shot, and still a turd 
Just messing with you, but i would advise picking up some flowtechs or hookers!! Gray
13.632@102.32 with a 2.14 short time. This was as close to stock as I ever was. 93 T/A M6 with the close ratio transmission. I had a K&N CAI, flowmaster muffler, gutted cat, hypertech powercoil, B&M ripper, and 17X9 WS6 rims with Firehawk SZ50 tires.
