Those PRC's won't hold a torch to the AFR's bro. AFR 215's are the best head on the market for your application IMO. Personally, I like the smaller runner size of the AFR 205.

Another vote for AFR's. Plus the thicker deck will be better if you ever add forced induction (or for resale for that matter).

That independent test said otherwise!

I'll agree the PRC 215's or 227's would be the fair comparison to the AFR's being the aftermarket casting like the AFR!

****, go with either!! Both are proven!!


Alot of people get sensitive when it comes to these threads cause they dont want sponsors bashing...

TSP/AFR make great products.. I love seeing vids of budget PRC heads and a medium cam pulling away on cobras..and i love seeing vids of big 400+CI LSX with AFR pulling nasty.. Both are proven.
