Re: AFR heads available soon! Tom, are these heads basically just for stock ls1 bore sized engines? Just wondering about valve and chamber sizes. My engine and tranny are shot and am looking to go with a 382 all-bore and would like to slap a set of these and the new LSX intake on it if they truly offer better gains over our current options. Thanks for any info.

Re: AFR heads available soon! Any idea if the springs are set up to deal with XE-R type lobes and lift?
Use standard LS1 head gaskets?
Do they recommend a specific head gasket?
This makes me rethink my lusting after the MTI S2E's all of a sudden.

Re: AFR heads available soon! for all you guys asking the questions of port sies and chamber sizes of the fr heads they actually have 2 specs to choose from the larger i would assume better fitted for the strokers. if more answers pick up the latest issue of hot rod they have a small break down on the heads in the product section.

Re: AFR heads available soon! 75+ hp gain over the stock head!
, sounds awesome.I don't doubt the quality of AFR's heads, chit their some of the best street heads out there proven time and time again
Has AFR provided any dyno graph comparisons?
CNC price isn't to bad either
Re: AFR heads available soon! Forgive my cynicism...
Put up a flow sheet or they're overpriced junk.
HELLO AFR? Anybody listening? A head that flows +300 cfm at .600 lift is available right now for $1800 with no core charge.
Is your UNPORTED head that good? If not, you've failed.

Re: AFR heads available soon! Those heads really turned the Stang crowd upside down, I'm currently in the market for a set, for my (small block Ford) 347, one of the best out of the box!
I'll wait to see some track times, beside with all the controversy about who's stage II package is better, we needed a better designed head!

Re: AFR heads available soon! I would love to see a dyno sheet on these heads, with that small of a port I would expect some real good low end numbers. These heads are why I have put off buying heads. All the AFR stuff I've seen has been awesome. Wait until Absolute or tea get ahold of some sets. This should prove intresting.

Re: AFR heads available soon! AmMscl is right, they are putting down some nice numbers for the mustang guys. I was going to buy heads in the next few weeks anyway, I'm going to hold off untill these come out now
Re: AFR heads available soon! I hope there not like the LT-1 AFR heads. They were just about worthless over the LT-4. To get the 300 plus cfm at .600, I'm sure you have to get the CNC version, which means you spend $2500 on heads that have about the same capabilities as some 5.3 heads for $1500 or less. It would be hard for me to believe that they could improve over GM design that much. Only thing thats looks better is the deck thickness and ability to go a little wilder on the port work.
Re: AFR heads available soon!
AFR is also just under $1800 with NO CORE. Its to my understanding, that unlike the other companies, this is not a ported stock head, but a brand new design....
2) There's no core charge on them either.
Unless the UNPORTED AFR head outflows that head at that price there is no point to using them and my opinion would be that they've failed.
