Edelbrock performer lt1 heads?
I was wondering if anybody has opinions/reviews of these heads (pn 61909). Any flow #'s after port? Cam choices with these heads? RWHP/TQ numbers? I plan on heads/cam/longtubes/vig/.. trying to figure out performance. Also, any other opinions for heads/cam. Eventually shooting for high 11's.
Thanks
Thanks

Yeah, I have been reading up on those. I was just curious if anybody had good results with these? Any opinions on where/who to buy from and have porting done? I really need some insight here as I am not very mechanically inclined. Looking for mid-11's... and the best way to do it NA, daily driver.
Thanks
Thanks

The Edelbrock LT1 heads are 50 state legal. That's their strength.
It's also their downfall... they are not what I would consider a "racing" head.
They are well made, and of great quality, but I would not use them on an 11 second car. I just don't think they could flow enough for that.
