OK Paul (Xerox) you are a Edelbrock dealer and make a couple hundred bucks on heads you sell. And you are all over that EHTTFMF!! that Kinsler started. And he started it rightfully so. It was like this little ol E head vs the big name race heads and kicking but. He did it with Gabby's E heads, first NA 1000HP with that little engine he used to run. And Mike was all over that too, again, rightfully so. We all know the numbers he made.
But YOU use it to try and sell heads, dealer and all. But they are not a better race head than the High Port much less the Tiger. You want to put it out there like its factual.
What Chief has done is not relevant. He has twin turbos and we all know he could be doing the same thing with High Ports or Tigers. he might have to get them with no chamber and put one in that is best for what he is doing. But it could easily be done. He has his reasons for using the E head and does what is right for himself.
Now, here is a flow sheet of my High Ports, nothing special. But what I want you to give us a number with one of your bang up port jobs on your E heads to equal these. Not world beating but near what people are getting out of the "cookie cutter" wide ports that KRE and Butler ect sell.
See, SD Performance's own 340-350 E heads do not match it but I was wondering what you would charge, just for port work to match these little High Ports. I know one thing, its a full on port job. So, give us your number. And make it real because someone might hold you to it.

Anyone else ever measured the intake port center length of a KRE HP? 4.5" seem short.

Please don't derail this thread....it is not about you.
You were asked a one word answer question and came back with five paragraphs of your BS bar talk and never addressed the original question.

I understand disagreeing. But you two, in every post, sparing with each other is getting old. I just wonder how some of these internet conversations would go face to face. I'd like to have a couple of mine in person.

They dropped the price on the RA IV Performer heads, but not the 61519 D Port heads, right?

If the bare head price would come down more id be real tempted to buy.
It is nice to see the prices come down though. Edelbrock has been price gouging us since the heads were first released in the 90's imo.
