nice build! how much extra hp do you think that the Edelbrock heads give? Are they worth the $$

[jeepsr4ever]

Its hard to say how much they added as it hasnt been dynoed yet (chassis D). For a street trail rig they can be worth the extra cost because you are shaving 52lbs and increasing power but it all depends on the camshaft. He may be into the low 400's for hp.
