Re: [BaadAssGremlins] INDY versus Edelbrock versus stock heads....HELP!!

[Davis Martin <martin-davis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 If money was not in the deciding factor, The Indy SR heads would be my choice. More potential then the Eddies. Bill has them on his 401 in the spirit. Ported flowing better then the indy guys claim they get. But you should be able to get them and just put them on stock and get all the performance you want for your street car. I am running 540 lift in my street gremlin and I like it. I am running heavily modified stock amc Iron heads though. As for what cam to use call up Isky and talk to one of there techs. tell him exactally what your looking for in performance and he will ask you what you have for compression, head flow, converter stall, rear gear ratio and how tall your rear tire is. Then he will suggest a cam. Mine had to be custom made and it was only 140.00 shiped.

  As for carb, I have no experience with Eddies carbs. I use holley. never had any trouble with holley. Easy to work on and easy to tune. 750 should be fine for your application.

 good luck and let us know what you decide to go with and how it works out.
