from what i've noticed reading through some topics how come everyone seems to hate clifford perfromance just curious? i was pretty happy with the headers/4bbl intake i got from them? and i've seen some builds on the internet with some mighty nice timeslips with clifford parts. Just wondering i'm new to the forum so i could be in the dark if i think clifford is good or something. |

Everyone that dislikes Clifford does so because they aren't considerate about; shipping in a timely manner or customer service. If you lived within driving distance, I reckon they would be fine. They've also made some poor reproductions of the Hyper-Pak, and that got under some peoples skin. I don't think their cams are up to par either, unless they've changed profiles in the past 2 months. Other than that, They have good stuff! I would love to have a set of their headers. I hope I have made an unbiased explanation as to why they catch all the flak. Mopar to ya! |

why thank you sir. as soon as i posted this i remebered that i heard they had terrible customer service so maybe that is why they get the cold shoulder. ya i did have a long wait on my parts to be shipped but hey it doesn't bother me some good things take time to come i suppose. Thanks for the opinion i appreciate it. |

I am one of the many quiet clifford parts happy folks  I ordered my pieces through a local autoparts store and didn't have to long a wait(2wks). Didn't have to pay up front(although I did),parts came as promised and fit like they should. I've called clifford acouple times for tuning Q an A and they have been friendly and helpful. My opinion from my experiance

Ya i felt the same way my headers and intake fit right on, but they did take awhile to be shipped but i was still happy. The only thing i have noticed that clifford may be lacking on is the camshafts i've been trying to compare them to comp cams and erson cams. Thanks for the input man |

Hey DKev, Erson is by far the best deal $ wise...and a great cam too. Check out these guys: http://www.schneiderracing.com They have some hot grinds that may be what your looking for. I had my stocker reground with them, and I'm more than happy with it. Customer service is top-notch, and parts are genuine quality. Good luck! BBBanjo |

Thanks Banjo i'll check some things out and i think i've been swayed to get an erson cam after looking around last night and comparing to clifford cams thanks everyone. Oh another question i stumbled upon a clifford blueprinted performance head whats the word on those is 1000 bucks worth putting out or can you machine a better head for less money at a local machine shop? |

its way too pricey. Mine out flows it by a mile and I had a local shop do it for $800 with all new parts, milled, 3 angle valve job, etc.

sorry, I had the numbers from a buddy of mine years ago but I lost it. I remember being disapointed at its numbers for the money involved, and how I paid $200 less and got much more (and still felt like I got ripped off actually). All I have are my numbers. I think Lou (dart270) probably has the best flowing head on the site if I remember right......I could be wrong. if nothing else, you can get it done cheaper from a local. if you browse through older posts of custom headwork you can find what people have done for cheaper money. |
