Default AFR is the ONLY head...

AFR is the ONLY head maker that helps us LSX guys with our engine setups period. I have yet to see any other head casting company post their engine set ups and dyno testing results in this forum. Keep up the OUTSTANDING work AFR.

Here are all the threads started by Tony of AFR. ENJOY!

Oh yeah, 'cause the guys at TSP NEVER post on LS1tech. Neither do the ET Performance guys. Yeah, AFR is the only one that posts on LS1tech.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....

ya, Tony's the man. however TroubledWine3 is correct, there are other sponsors who post up results and info about there heads. perhaps what you mean to say is no one posts as much in depth info about their R&D as Tony does. TR racing used to but they havent done much as of late.

PRC is owned by the guys at TSP. So, essentially, yes.

Thats great info but what does this have to do with dyno info??

Shouldnt you be required to atleast post your dyno sheet in the post before you start to pimp the product?

I'm with Gollum man.

LGM steps up with useful/entertaining/interesting/R&D info too.
The thing is everytime they post up they have to deal with the haters.
Props also go out to JRP & Predator Z.

I assume this thread will get moved.

Didn't know whether to respond to this or not.....LOL

Gollum, I appreciate that you appreciate the time myself and AFR has given to this board....it certainly makes it that much more worthwhile (you could have just sent me a PM!)

Also, as others have mentioned, there are certainly quite a few other companies (AND individuals) that post "good tech" and probably a handful more that wish they had the time to do so.

Bottom line, I have been an automotive enthusiast all of my life....I just happen to be fortunate enough to actually make a living at something I really enjoy (cylinder head design, engine building, dyno testing etc.). It makes the time I spend sharing the info not too much different than you guys sharing and posting info about your experiences. Being involved in it practically every day of my life (alot of my free time obviously as well) and having my own LS powered car to experiment on just enables me to share that many more experiences.

Anyway....If the mods feel the need to move this thread due to zero "dyno content" I certainly understand, just thought I would throw in my .02 before it might have been moved as I agree that it probably doesn't belong here.

Gollum...your welcome and I will try to keep up the good work....LOL

Call me at AFR if I can ever be of some assistance

Now back to our regular programming!

Thanks,
Tony

(PS....I might have some additional chassis dyno results on the 83' build-up in a week or so)
