Not the LT1 heads but this is a magazine test of a bunch of heads including Edelbrocks CNC'd LT4 heads which perform worst of the bunch even compared to other as cast heads and Golen's house ported 185cc ported GM heads. Being a magazine article they don't call a spade a spade as they should but look at the dyno chart.
Then again maybe it is just the intake choking the heads since they gave the Edelbrock heads the Edebrock intake.
ANY research on the Edelbrock stuff will turn up that the results we do have are consistently disappointing.

Just contacted Lloyd Elliot. This is what he said.
"If you are married to the Ede heads that you have and are gonna run them, we can work with them but unless they inmstalled 2.02/1.60 valves and did A LOT of porting they will be a step below some ported stock GM castings.
The Edelbrock heads are pretty much a joke but if you got them for free its hard to complain."
That makes up my mind. Who wants some heads???

Looking to do a heads and cam upgrade to my stock LT1. I have the Edelbrock Performer LT1 #61909 heads that have been ported and polished up for good flow. I'm just having trouble picking a good solid cam for this motor that will give it great sound but also performance. Looking for some insight on this if anyone can help. Thanks!
