I don't plan to race for a tie. I race to win!!!! and I don't play well with others if you know what i mean!! lol. The bottom line i'm trying to figure out is, spread port is the way to go to make more torque and hp, but with my limit of 1 carb would the RFD edelbrock be equal to a 14 or 18* head? The add from RFD doesn't say they heads make 1200hp. to many things to consider, but flow #'s say
it could support up to 1200hp.
Of course it would be cheaper because everything i have is for conventional heads. ie pistons, intake, rockers etc. but i'm starting a new motor and seriously thinking about steping up to spread port heads.
Now where do i start? Dart, Brodix, Sonny's, RFD, Dynoflo, SVR?? all good places, but it cost too much not to get it right the first time.
Thanks again for your help!!

Take the name Dynflow out of that " all good places" a locals dragster I drive here and there had a 585 dart big chief motor and also had a 565 brodix big duke motor. His 565 with dukes walks all over the 585 with the chiefs they are a close motor. IMO you need to go atleast 18 degree to make the power you want without spending a ton to do so. I currently run a bmf conv head on my 582 it'd make over 1000 on any dyno but if I had a 18 head it'd make 1100 easy.
