Interesting. Those flow numbers are alot less than our stage II LS1 heads and we use a 3.90 bore. A 4.125 will falsly increase flow numbers.

I agree with Mikey and Gomer, those flow numbers are pretty meaningless at this point because they are with a 4.125 bore.

We need more info.

Linear,

How you ever had those heads flowed on an independent bench???? Those are some pretty amazing flow numbers.

Still they flowed the GMPP ls6 heads on the same bore and the afr heads out done them right? If so, This will be a strong Tq curve with great hp numbers. And the 220 heads will be the way to go for the all out crowd.

No I haven't, but my car is making 511rwhp with a 230/236 cam so I'm not complaining

I think the GMPP LS6 use stock intake valves and we know more flow can be had with aftermarket intake valves than stock.

Any info on what intake valves are in the AFR's?

Any more info in the article that can be posted?

I don't blame you!!!! Great numbers. Hope to get those type of numbers with a 396 but it will be difficult without an EXTREMELY good set of heads.

It says the intake valves are 2.02 five angle and the exhaust is 1.60 with a radiused seat(better flow) Spring pockets are 1.470 and can be machined to 1.55. Price assembled and CNC $2,499, as cast $1,800. They added material to the chamber to make a double-quench pad that helps detonation and air/fuel atomization. The d-ports are now oval. 225cc will have 2.05/1.60 valves.
The 205cc AFR's were compaired to the 201cc LS1, 211cc LS6, and 242cc CNC GMPP LS6's

You will not see those numbers since your motor will be a stock bore.

I will be amazed if you hit 500 without a fast intake and ewp.

Well I know you should know Kumar. Actually whether it makes 480 or 500, it makes no diff. when juice is thrown in the equation. I think we would be pretty happy to make what you make on your combo. Your motor makes GOBS of torque under the curve.

There is a lot of good information to be had on the afr heads at the corvette forum.

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=656708

He states flow figures are with a 390 bore about the half way down the first page.

My exact numbers for my LS6 Stage II heads are:
-----INT EXH
.200 142 109
.300 215 146
.400 260 178
.500 286 212
.550 299 221
.600 304 227

These are a 3.905 bore size with 2.020/1.577 valves.

I don't know what the runners are but the 205 will definetly keep the velocity up. I am contemplating a set of AFR 76cc heads for my Turbo Setup. It will drop the CR down to 9.3 for me and the heads already come with large springs..they are ready to go..I am just waiting for Bill/AFR to make me the deal..for testing them out with a forced induction application.

I wish they will hurry up and release them so we can stop debating and find the facts!!!!!

OK they are 205cc but it is not ralistic giving flow #s based in 4.125 bore when most poeple have 3.905 bore.I understand what you mean but AFR have to base their test in the reality of the factory motor like they do when selling generation I and II chevy heads.Their base line was compared in factory bore size motors!!Just my .02 cents...
Happy new year everyone!!!

Very few of us have or will run a 4.125 bore, so the numbers are not helpful to me.

Smaller valved heads can flow 10cfm less so that should also be kept in mind.

I look forward to some independent testing.

Take note of a few things....these figures are quoted from my larger bore fixture, NOT the smaller 3.910 bore of the stock shortblock, and also, I plan on experimenting with quite a few different valvejobs before going to production so some of these figures might end up higher, and some of them might end up lower. I wouldn't expect to see much more than a plus or minus 5 CFM figure in any case, and when I did place the cylinder head on a smaller bore fixture, I was happy to only see a fairly small drop in flow across the board.....the largest being the 8 CFM difference @ .600 (Prototype went 308 CFM on larger fixture, 300 CFM swapping to the 3.910 bore).

Latest word from my foundry is still "good", and based on that we are still expecting the "launch" to be sometime the later part of this year as I have previously described....keeping my fingers crossed!

Ed....buy more shelving!!!

Regards,
Tony Mamo
maybe this will help some

GREAT post regarding AFR heads on the VETTE forum. Guys read ALL of that if you have time. The following points that TONY made are VERY interesting:


1. Thinks STOCK 205CC CNC AFR heads could mean as much as 40-45HP over a STOCK LS6 with STOCK LS6 heads WITH JUST THE AFR HEAD CHANGE!!!!

2. AFR heads flow much better than LS6 heads with smaller port volumes than Ls6 heads resulting in much better power under the curve because of better air velocity thru the smaller ports.

3. Won't start shipping 205CC heads until Feb. 2004

Always heard the GMPP LS6's had big runners didn't know they were quite that big! I think the GMPP's are more optimized for the ASA cam than anything else too. Sound promising...I want to see the AFR flow data from Thunder, Absolute, MTI or TEA's flow bench. Now to check out that article.

****Tony says

Also, all my exhaust figures are recorded utilizing a 1.875 "flowtube" which is about 8-9" in total length. It bolts to the exhaust port much like a header and immediatly hooks down and back, closely resembling any primary tube you might find from the various manufacturers....after the turn, the pipe has about a 3-4" section of straight pipe.

f you have ever seen an Amduri flow tube, it is basically very similar. All my exhaust ports are optimized and designed that way from their inception so as to try and simulate real world operating conditions when ultimately the heads are sitting between your framerails with a nice long-tube header attached to them.


1.875 flowtube on exhaust for the AFR's? I would have expected more exhaust flow. Most of our cars will have 1.75 primary tubed headers & smaller bores so we would expect even less exhaust flow.

Tony's data is interesting but it's not really helpful as we don't have a common reference for most of it - yet.

Time will tell and I look forward to more data.
