Your link wasn't working for me so I did a quick google and found a pic with an explanation.. pretty cool! I'm interested for a price.

That would be a very nice head for a stroker motor or any with boosted motor for that matter, lots of meat there to work with on the flow bench.

I can't get past the fact they misspelled Cylinder (Unless this was a Chinese product, since sometimes it is spelled that way there??)....how does such a major mistake make it to your display at such a large event as SEMA???

This isn't a Chinese product. I've been to their foundry and talked with my rep about it this weekend. Looks really nice maybe I'll upgrade mine since I get master distributor pricing across their line...

Not really impressed with stock size valves. And 'as cast' ports and cumbustion chamber. No specs on flow numbers and spring specs.
Maybe next year they will have a 'Victor' series head with 2.02"/1.60", CNC ports and combustion chamber, and pushrod holes big enough to pull a lifter thru.

Really the best budget 4x4 you can buy today is a xj.Take the 4.0 if you stroke it the factory head will only flow so much before it starts to limit power.With this head it should out flow the factory head.Sure you can run power adders but i rather have a na motor with power down low vs having to rev it up to make power.

looks like another edelbrock letdown. $1000+ for a head that is hardly more capable than a stock casting? no flow numbers, valve angle, or compression information? what a joke.
