I spent allot of time doing R&D with that head and actually got some pretty good results without welding it. The only problem was that it wasn't any better than or as good as the Tigers. Edelbrock tried really hard to get my port configuration so they could duplicate it, but it didn't go anywhere. I had a nice bracket race version that flowed a little over 400 cfm with a 2.300 intake valve. The problem was for the amount of effort and expense to duplicate it for such a limited number of buyers it wasn't worth it. Like Mike stated it had to be cnc machined to reproduce it for a reasonable amount and even then it was outside of most guy's price range. Edelbrock is into the numbers not bragging rights. They can sell 300 times more of their RPM heads and not have the grief. They are smarter than me LOL. I want the biggest and baddest. They want to sell a 1,000 copies a year. I think they are on to something !!!!
