[DeTomaso] EDELBROCK HEADS

[cengles at cox.net]

Dear Chris,

The CHI head are impressive, but don't their optimized intake ports require an appropriated formed and sized CHI *intake* to maximize their flow and power benefits? Conversely, the commonly available 351C intake manifolds either won't match up with the CHI ports or won't work with the CHI heads?

Have you finished your engine with the CHI heads (and intake?)? How did it do on the dyno?

Curious, Chuck Engles
