SpeedMaster Heads on sale
Typically they sell for $1,170 for the SET of heads but a Black Friday sale has them listed as $700 (brand new), fully assembled with springs and all.
Are they SpeedMaster heads at $700 worth the purchase? About $470 lower in price with Black Friday. Do they flow better than stock cast iron "C" heads?

Who is running this sale?
As mentioned, you're better off buying bare castings and installing better springs and valves. Ive heard people complain that the valve guides are for **** too.
Bernard Mondello sells them completely assembled with premium parts and machine work.
These castings are almost identical to the Gen I Edelbrocks, and flow slightly better than a stock C head, plus they're alot lighter. You can also have porting and additional valve work done to increase flow.

Speedmaster website has them for $228 a head bare. Pretty much giving them away.

In comparison to the Pontiac heads they offer, for instance, the Olds have the old style cast chambers as opposed to the newer heart shaped CNC chambers on the Pontiac head. I could see them offering a new head with these newer chambers, but they are significantly more expensive at $1800 a pair vs $1150.
The drop in price for the Olds heads to $700 was their annual black Friday sale, nothing more.
