Default Edelbrock Heads

The only good heads are the Victor JR and of Course the newest and highest dollar heads the Glidens.
Ask yourself a couple of questions?

Is this truely a street emgine or is it the base for something much bigger? How important is low-end torque and a 6000-7000 rpm limit sound?

If you want good bottom end torque, use this a baseline, the smaller the intake runner size and the higher the flow numbers equals ***-pull-in Torque! I mean the type that pulls like well a mother. One the other hand.
The larger the intake runner size and the higher the flow means your torque will kick in at a much high rpm so will the horse power, this could be as much as 3000-4000 rpm difference.
Thats why must of guys have switched from other heads to AFR, 165 for the little brother 302-350 Cu.In and the 185 for the bigger stuff and the 205 for the bigger yet.. Heads are expensive, and yu only want to spend your money on once, Fox Lake has sveral heads that flow well and would make you good torque and horse power..
