Question AFR's or LS7 heads for high hp boost motors
What do you guys think? Should we switch to a LS7 and maybe have some CNC work on them? Would they be a better investment now then the AFR heads?

Thanks in advance,
Tre

I would think so too but what is the price difference and is it worth it?

Let us see here pricewise :

LS7 heads $2500

http://www.sdpc2000.com/catalog/1979...inder-Head.htm

LS7 intake $292

LS7 pusrods,rockers and rocker bolts $269.6

I think you need fuel rail too but didn't get a price on that.


I got them but haven't tried them.
