If I had to choose a head to do any build it would be the AI TFS 212s. They're ridiculous. There's a few posts on here documenting results - try a search.

I have them on my 355. No results yet. Motor is going in this weekend I hope. There are a few people with them so far. I think thunder chicken has some. Around 500rwhp if memory serves me correct. It's a bad *** casting. They outflow TFS 195'S cast to cast. If you got the money not much out there will beat it.

That is a pretty wild number for a hydraulic cam.

Last I heard it was broken and he was going to sell it. I don't remember exactly what happened.

Yeah, he was going to sell it, but then everyone changed his mind. He was having serious issues trying to get it tuned, and it ate a head gasket apparently.

You can't go wrong with any AI product. They're top of the line.

AI 212's here. Went consistant 11.30's on LE2 setup, and now 11.10's with AI TFS 212's and their cam. Only change was a bad opti that wouldn't allow me to spin above 6K. Car was tuned with same opti and both setups made within 10 rwhp/tq of each other (LE2 420/421 rwhp/tq by Ed Wright, 429/409 rwhp/tq by Moe Bailey). New opti and it can pull to 7K without a miss then went to the track. I honestly think alot of the ET gain came from the ignition, car feels the same on the street and on the track. Hope this helps.
