Default HELP ME PICK A SET OF HEADS! (AFR vs Trickflow)

I was originally going to go with a set of L92's for my build but have scraped that option. I am now able to go with either Afr's or trickflows. If you had to choose which would you go with and why? which seems to have the best performance under boost? this is a Lq4 bottom end

I'd go with a set of the new AFR230's. You can still use your stock rockers with the AFR's.

If you speak to Brian Tooley he will say TFS since he works there and if you ask Tony Mamo he will tell you AFR since he works there so I'm not sure what would be accomplished by directly asking them. I personally would say AFR as they are a direct bolt on and you can run your stock rockers with them and they're more than enough head for what you are asking to do. I believe TFS recommends aftermarket rockers for their heads.

I would vote for the 6 bolt version of the TFS 235, although both heads are great products.
