Default Engine guru's Got a head question.

Edelbrock performer RPM heads at Jegs part # 350-61969 $1199.99. Are these any good ? Its a hell of a price if they are. I don't know much about them don't want to order them untill I get some opinions of people that have them.
Thanks

Be careful. Look like that $1,199 price is per head. X2= $2,398. Can get AFR 205's for that. Summit was selling the new Dart 205's for $1,699 a pair just a couple of weeks ago.
That aside, has anyone seen, or used, these heads yet?

You might want to consider LPE heads they are doing the port work for edelbrock.
