Ordered my new heads today!!!!!!!!
JL, your exact heads were on that bench.
(I sold them to eastside and they were new)
I do know that benches and flow numbers are all different, as long as you are comparing apples to apples your good. (using the same bench for all your testing)
With that said they didnt see 350 on the bench we use, not saying they arent a badass head.

Out of curiosity, why did you get rid of them? Not that it really matters, because they've worked out awesome!

i went with the 245's and TEA is doing them up for me. they do drop off a bit after 700, but they should work well for what im doing, and the drop off is very low and with mid lift as good as they are they should match up well with the high compression etc. we'll see.
jl, for what its worth, i had my afr's flowed at ralphs and they where lower then advertised so his bench seems to read a tad low. not sure if he wasa the one to flow them for you.
Marco, i was told by a little bird that you dont have to change the rockers. they recomend going to a roller tip, but stock will work you may have an issue with warrenty tho. i think im going to be happy with them, and so far TEA has been great to deal with. they sent me a head to use and clay up to check all my clearance etc, just outstanding customer servise.

For the money I'd be spending I rather do it the right way. I'm just a cheap bastard

Also it's fine to overlift a Cam for the heads because for Brads setup it has extremely limited time at the high lift area.His Cam is running the meat spot of the head flow. You see a ton of Cam only cars running .600+ lift Cams when stock heads fart at .550.
Those will be badass heads Noyzee, you should be happy w/ the results. Honestly as much as I like AFR's I think those heads would work better for you than your old one's even if they we not even touched by TEA.
The results you see from Trickflow are awesome.

don, that again is correct. the tf from tea have some very impresive numbers mid range and top that it should be a big gain over all, and top doesnt mean all that much like you said. it spends short time in that area.
JL, no im just sticking with the basic head, they are just running there cnc and port/polish job on them, setting them up with springs valves etc.

got ya. I wasn't sure if they were setting those up for 6 bolt usage yet. As long as you're not having an issue with the heads lifting, it shouldn't really matter.
Do the head bolt holes in those heads have a steel sleeve in them like the ET's do?

are you comparing the 225's that have been out for a while over tfs's brand new jionts? how does a head look stronger? how do you know what design is better, do you design heads? thats some bold statements from you is all im sayin, good luck either way but it sounds like your palyer hatin on some afr;s cuz you melted a set is all, maybe you should be hatin on your tuner? I was owndering why you are trying out the tfs over some canted valve etp's or any square port head for that matter especially the ones with 6 bolts?

i also didnt melt a set, and my car ran and runs perfect so (me) my tuner did a fine job the head had week spots and i found them. its old news so no sence in you beating a dead horse
and i didnt go with the etp canted valve set up because i dont have the cash to buy those heads, so i went with the best ones i thought to work with my set up and after a long time lots of research and lots of back and forth with tea, dart, etp etc etc. i decided for my budget these heads would be best, and from what ive seen so far i think i made a pretty wise move
as for bold statements, you made some in your post as well, are you player haten on tf because you are a
for AFR??
if you aint got nothing nice to say, keep it to yourself thanks you. that is all
