"The distinction here is whether we are trying to establish fact or opinion."

I have no facts as in track testing to within .1 ET, not my thing. And again not suggestioning that's not a good thing here. My comments are obviously driven by opinion.... and to add to opinion, here is a comment made by a good friend. Someone most on this board would recognize, and one who has a street driven 455 combo using the dredded Edelbrock heads:

"Drive my car and I'll guarantee there is no loss of bottom End! The Nittos go up in haze anytime."

And a local friend with his Edelbrock heads, un-ported with just a clean up, and on a simple 455 based low 5200 rpm street combo ... I know his opinion on his streetability with 570 ft.pounds of torque. He's not harping about low speed drivability issues.
