Head Selection & clamping ability

What Casting (excluding c5r) has the best record for staying down under boost?

What heads are you largeframe and thumper framed guys running?

Has anyone Tested the l92 heads yet?

The AFR's with their thicker deck surface are going to be able to support more boost than most. Bob

I bought Edelbrocks....

no real reason, I just did lol. Maybe it was for their reasonable flow, and small port sizes, plus they were in stock when I wanted some heads.

Just got a set of all pros myself, thickest deck surface that I have found, flow pretty damn good as well. If they are good enough for W2W and Mightymousethey are good enough for me.
