I've always put the priority on value instead of price.... I know if I have a problem with made in the US heads like Edelbrock, either the distributor or the dealer will make things right..... Edelbrock is in it's third generation as a performance parts manufacturer and I truly believe the company (and Vic hisself) takes a lot of pride in their customer service, warranty, and tech assisitance.
I guess if an import cylinder head manufacturer could offer all those things I'd consider their product.... Til then, I prefer my parts to be made in the USA... No big flag waving patriotic thing for me, but I guess I'd rather see my $$$$$ circulating in this country vs. some foreign country...... Also, company's like Edelbrock have some very high tech R&D folks making their products work correctly, the imports are nothing more then a copy and in many instances a very poor copy!!!!
As for the Edelbrock Performer RPM heads, I've ran a number of sets on Windsor's and have a set on a Big Block Ford now....460, .030 overbore, mild roller cam, and out of the box heads puts 500 hp to the ground.... Hard to beat for the price!!!!Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Learning must be difficult for those who already know it all!!!!
The first model car I built was a 32 Ford roadster by Revell in the mid 50's.
How did you get hooked on cars?
