These are the Mopar Performance heads. (Edelbrock did the work for
MP.) You'll want to raise your compression ratio if you want to get max
power out of them though; due to the heat dissipation qualities of the
aluminum, you'll lose a good deal of the additional power you gain due to
better flow. IMHO, for the best bang for the buck, he'd probably be better
off with a set of ported cast heads. (You could get a set of brand new
cast heads and have them ported with a 3 angle valve job for the same price
as ONE aluminum head.) :-P Pretty cool that they're finally available though.
