I have very close to the same cam specs and made 426rwhp and 406rwtq. Tha.t was done with the stock cat back and a 12 bolt rear and a Denny's steel driveshaft. I thought those heads would have made 450-475 with your set up.Your making great #'s , I just thought those heads were suppose to put everyone elses to shame. Looks like I would get no gain switching heads

Nice gains! I called a AFR dealer the other day and they told me 8-10 weeks now on the LSx heads, and 10-12 on the AFR 195's SBC heads. They make awesome product for sure.

You are not saying much. You are comparing apples to oranges. He is just trying to show everyone the gains of going from a stock head to a AFR 205 head.
