Where did you see velocity specs for all these heads to be able to compare them with each other?

I'm trying to make power off boost, not just on boost. I could boost the life out of an engine if I wanted to, but I want something that can actually be driven everyday, low boost, and make plenty of power when I want the power. Not like my last car where I had to build boost at the line or shift WOT to keep boost.

I can't get your link to work either.

Couple of things here.
Those Kaase heads are intended for very high output N/A engines only, also very expensive for what you get IMHO.
Also, whoever said that Edelbrock VicJR. heads were pedestal mount type is full of it.
Mine sure aren't......

I talked to Jon Kaase on the phone the other day. He said the same thing but he also was saying that a few of his customers put them on boosted cars and made better power through the entire powerband. Now, people will hype up their own stuff to sell it, however, most won't lie because the word always gets around. So I am going to order a set, slap them on a 363, and see what happens. Then, I guess i'll pump 10 PSI through a turbo further down the road. Now to get that raise at work and get my tax return.
