Edelbrock Performer RPM heads......

[topless5.0]

#6025. Does anyone have any info on these heads? Do any of you currently run them? If so have you had any issues with them?

I'm trying to pull together a solid street/strip combo using a performer RPM intake and without spending the 1300 bucks on AFR165's.

The shortblock is a 306 with speedpro hyperutechnic pistons.

What kinda carb combos are out there that are strong?

Sorry for all the questions, I'm hoping to get crackin on this engine in the next couple weeks, so im kinda anxious.

I've got them. I've been running them for about a year or so. Mine are ported to a fpp-1250 intake gasket (which isn't much of a port job, but it's still nice). I've had only one related problem and that may have not been from the heads alone. When I installed them, I also installed new parts on the entire top end of the motor. I had cooling issues at first, but after a high volume water pump, and a 180 thermostat, I run at a constant 190 all the time. And that's in the 100+ temps of Yuma AZ. I don't blame the cooling issues solely on the heads because I bought them used from a friend with a carburated car and he had no cooling issues at all with his setup.

My friend ran these heads on a 306 with the RPM intake (port matched to the heads) and a holley 650 DP. This along with 4.10 gears made his 85 run strong!!

I'm running them on a 306 with speedpro powerforged pistons and a 2030 cam. Mine is an EFI setup however so the rest is somewhat different than yours.

But in short, I love the heads, and I plan on buying the same ones again on my next project.
