Well your not buying a name when you buy a premium aftermarket head. Your buying a better head.. AFR , TFS, WCCH Edelbrocks and ALL PRO all have had massive research and development to make them what they are.They cost more because they are better.

Does that mean that there aren't talented porters out there who cant make a factory head shine? NO it doesn't mean that but your getting what you pay for in the performance world when you drop coin on a premium head such as AFR or TFS or ALL PRO or WCCH Edelbrocks. WCCH has a new program that gets 395 flow on the intake of their LS7 heads which is pretty damn good, but you need a big bore to use them.
