I actually find I can get to the 300 mark a little easier with the Sidewinder than either the RPM or the Stealth.
I like the short turn better.

YUP !   :2thumbs:   

I also find these Sidewinder's waaaay easier to get to the 300 cfm mark...... versus the RPM or Stealth (harder).

Wow, yall make me feel good.  (I have Sidewinders)  I never expected people with your expertise to like the Sidewinder better than RPMs or Stealths.  :shruggy:   I'm glad to hear that you both like them.   I had Todd Marsh do a bowl blend on mine before he shipped them to me.     :2thumbs:

Do the sidewinder's have straight or angled plug's? Seem's like I remember checking them out before I ordered the stealth's and they had angled spark plug's. Angled plug's are not a deal breaker but the headers I have work better with the straight one's. The sidewinder's were my other option if I didn't wind up going with the stealth's but I actually had forgot about the sidewinder's by the time I got the cash to get some ordered. Hopefully mine will be done soon so I can get started pulling out my engine and making some changes......

Sidewinder's are angled plugs, check header fit during installation, and if using factory manifolds I have NO idea ?   
But then again I can't see why anyone would install the visually "square & chunky" Sidewinder Head on a factory iron exhaust manifold style build ?, or for that matter any build wanting to maintain a somewhat factory engine appearance  (even with Headers). 
Stealth Heads are just fine, so are the Eddy's, just easier to get to the 300 cfm mark using the Sidewinders(IMO), but with the added benefit on the Stealth heads when painted of that "Factory" Engine appearance.

Every Head has it's advantages I guess ?

Sidewinders plugs clear HP exhaust manifolds fine.

That has got to be the nastiest $ exchange rate I have ever seen!
