I vote AFR's simply because I have not seen another car make as much power as mine on 9.4psi with 11.4 afr & 14* at 6k. They must flow pretty well. Numbers in sig

That is because you haven't seen my dyno sheets LOL! Whats' up Scotty? I have both AFR's and TFS's heads the TFS"s have a slight advantage although it isn't worth mentioning on a FI car probably. Take your pick you will be fine try not to look stress over it they are all good FI heads and the deck thickness is the main thing. Good luck.

How about the heads patriot peformance is starting to produce now, the "predator" should be a killer head with thicker deck and extreme good flow numbers.

PM Kurt and he'll be able to answer more thoroughly. However, at those powerlevels the stock LS1 block is a liability anyways.

I remember someone doing the opposite too and modifying some AFR heads to use with a 6 bolt block.

I would think the exhaust flow would be of higher importance than intake since the intake is pressurized?
