Default Where are all of the Edelbrock Pro Port Builds?
It's been well over three years since I returned the first castings of Edelbrock Pro Port heads I ordered the prior year.

We all know about Marcella's build, the other one was a nice EMC build with heads done by Chad Speir.

Where are the rest of the builds? The Pontiac market was crying for a 400 CFM bolt on cylinder head, traditional Pontiac, high quality casting, so where are they???

Don't be surprised if Edelbrock decides to run a CNC Victor series to move inventory, just don't think they are doing us a favor.

Yeah I've been told that if you build an all out race engine max effort then back up the numbers buyers will come? Marcella did that yet none have sold.Where are the people who always say that? Hmmm , now you know why he is going sb2. Maybe he should have offered discounts to muppets.

What about hp/cid? 2.172 .....POS needs to be 2.3 for an inline head with 1 carb.
But I think there is another 40-50 hp in it.

Im going SB2 because I can race at 250lbs lighter in my class and make similar power with that motor.

What happened to Jim Robertson's efforts? Or am I remembering wrong about the port he displayed at Norwalk a couple of years ago?

Sure is hard to make a living when anyone can make 700+hp street strip engines out of the box as cast isn't it?

So you are running Kre's program.....if you can't make the power, make it lighter.

They will never admit it but the biggest market is street engines,so yes anything that can eliminate cost ie head porting..it's not in their best interest to want an out of the box performer.
