Default What is preferred aftermarket cylinder head ?

Which aftermarket cylinder head such as Dart, AFR, Brodix, Edelbrock, etc... seems to be making the most power on naturally aspirated applications ? Do they also flow the most ?

I assume by now, one of the above has silently slipped ahead of the others ?

thank you

Trickflow and AFR are pretty much the top dogs.

TFS out of the box but if you wanna go all out $$$ some porters are saying the 225 Darts have "meat in all the right places". One guy is flowing over 350 on the ported Darts IIRC but that is with bigger valves for a 4" bore.

TFS
ETP

But the reason why I am quoting is that bear in mind, even the best ported FAST intake flows what, at best 280ish cfm so anything above 300 or so means absolutely nothing and the only time it is going to matter is when there is a Beck intake in it's place your pushing he compression.

For any head choice, the most cfm under the curve and in the useable range of the cam lift.
