My ls1 guy is like dart this and dart that...are these heads worth a crap or should I spend the money on the afr heads....let's start here

 

Best for what? what are you aims? would you say best makes more power? or best as in reliable? What are your goals?
I'm sure both heads have great write ups. Okay this doesn't really help, but perhaps you need to clarify your question.

 

Ok I want best out of the box horsepower and and don't wanna "cheap" out my vette...its a semi daily driver and I am trying to get ideas for head cam intake that puts power to the tires and sounds good...don't mind spending the money just don't wanna regret the choice....

 

Oh yeah the car is an automatic with longtubes and a 3 73

 

if you have the budget for AFR's, i would go the extra mile and get the Trick Flow heads.

you will have to run shaft rockers, which is the only downside. but from the results that we've seen, the TFS heads are one of THEE best performing heads.

 

I like trick flow but I heard they are the worst of the three...dart and afr...what's a good stick to run with the tfs....summit has some good packages it looks like

 

Oh yeah do u know aiden from rock hill sc

 

TFS worst of the three?? Where did you hear that.... I have never heard anything like that!!!

 

I've always heard AFR's are the best.

 

Yeah anyone who tells you that Trick flows are the worst of the 3 is an idiot, and you should find someone new to work on your car.

 

The TFS's heads will pay off. You wont regret buying them.

 

well, how much do you wish to spend? is this a daily driver or strip only? the gang here needs to know. several sponsors here can help you. this probably wont help much but if you'd like a mag article on gen 3 head basics pm me a fax number. good luck, thanks. ps you may also learn something from reading the sticky at the top .

 

I have Dart heads on my 416, however out of the box the bowl work is a little rough, also the valve seats have quite deep cuts in them. So low vlave openings could be impaired? I have smoothed out the runners and cleaned up the..well..frankly erm..rushed? workmanship from the box, i am now happy with them.

 

Dailey driver I wanna but I have other cars so not really every day driver ta no

 

I have the ETP 215's, no complaints here.

 

i am looking to spend around 7-10 thousand dollars....kenne belle has crossed my mind but i am dying for the nasty cam sound...not man vettes have it...i really would like to run low sevens....hook up the ideas and combos...i have had tons of mustangs and love trick flow so.....

 

Dart versus well ported LS6 heads.

BTW, the records for C5 Corvettes with a stick or an auto are both held by TFS 215 users.

I love my AFR heads, I dont think I would go with any other head. AFR, TFS and ETP are all really good heads.

 

I havent heard anything bad about any on the three all good things about them tho.. i have the darts and i like them alot the work good
