AFR 225 62cc....Are they ever gonna happen??? I have a new set of AFR heads that were ported by TEA and then improved by a local NASCAR head porter. They are 62cc.

Update.... Unfortunately, not much different from the last update which was fairly recent.
We ARE working on them but alot of our efforts get compromised by also having to help Production manage the lead times and back orders. This situation is unfortunate but adding a new product that we can't produce due to excessive lead times and back orders doesn't seem like a good move. We have to manage both (completing the small chamber 225's and helping Production out) and essentially thats the situation here. My best guess is no sooner than 4 weeks and no later than 16....If that means you need to make other arrangements I certainly couldn't blame you but we will NOT take shortcuts or compromise the product by rushing it to market so we might not miss any sales opportunities.
Make no mistake about the fact we will will be offering these heads to the public (and they will be killer)....the only variable right now is the timeframe to do so. Sorry about the delay guys....we are just as dissappointed as you are.

No problem on my end as I can't afford them right now anyway. I'm just anxious to see these get released. Maybe by the time they do come out I can afford a set. I just bought the G5X4 so I'm excited about combining these heads with that cam. Should be a killer combo.

The real killer setup would be a set of All pro's plus a TEA stage 3 port Job.
You would make silly power.
The All Pro's are AWSOME everywhere except in their port design. The as cast version isn't the best.
I hear os Trickflow coming out with something impressive real soon.

And Magnus and 01-Z have already proven it makes huge power. My car weighs 400+ lbs more than theirs so I'm not expecting a 10.29. I'll be happy with high 10's.

The AFR's look much nicer stock vs stock.

Exactly....... or the stock LS1 chamber. $ for $ the AFR's are most liely the way to go for anything but a all out drag car.
