HR probably didn't contribute 1 thin dime towards that build, and probably complained up, down and across about the cost of printing it and getting the accompanying photographs.
HR doesn't pay for jack.
All those intake comparo's, carb jet-offs? all parts donated by the manufacturers. That's why you'll see articles about comparing 6 different manifolds...ALL FROM EDELBROCK. You won't ever see a Consumers Report type comparison of manifolds, from different manufacturers, with actual unbiased )"they buy a lot of advertising pages") results.
Even the dyno time is usually donated "for exposure" of the business providing the time.
A lot of times, the articles themselves are written by the manufacturers and printed verbatim by HR, with all photo's and results and text provided by the manufacturer and often little or no editorial review by HR of the contents.
I'm guessing that maybe this was that sort of article, perhaps funded in part by the piston manufacturer that Mr. Barry R. works for. I don't know that though.
I AM getting real real tired of reading about the wonders of Edelbrock's catalog though and really really wish someone WOULD come out with a Consumers Report type publication dealing with aftermarket performance parts so we can start getting some current, accurate and unbiased reporting on them. |
