225's.....We might even offer that head in a special "NOS/Blown configuration"
(basically, that version will have an even higher flowing exhaust port than our standard 225's).

Timeframe....not as soon as you would like....probably be taking deposits and processing orders in 4-6 weeks. We should start shipping 205's about the same time.

They will be worth the wait, but I understand everyone's desire to improve their power output sooner than later.

Thanks,

I would say right around 4 weeks thereafter....We have a "pre-order" list for people that know they want to purchase the 225's and would have given us a deposit already if we would have accepted one. The "Pre-Order list" are the customers and that will obviously see product first when we start to ship. Anyone interested can place a call to any of the sales techs at AFR and be placed on that list. The sales tech that puts you on the list will contact you as soon as we are accepting deposits and processing orders....much like we did on our 205 program.

Chassis dyno results on our 205 project car (my own) will be released in about 3 weeks. By the way, my car wheel dyno'ed 10 HP different (346/356) on two different dyno's within two days of one another (similar conditions and correction factors). Just goes to show that once again all dyno's are simply barometers and are very close at best. I feel both facilities have top notch equipment....It's just the way it is. I bet you could find a 20 HP spread if you went to four or five different facilities.

Thats it for now...
