AFR 205's vs TFS 215's So i need help on deciding which heads would be best for my application. I like how both of these heads perform but don't know which one would be best for my application since its going on a 3600lb truck.
347 LS1
1 7/8 Headers,true duals x pipe high flowcats
F.A.S.T 92/92
SNS Stage 2 Cam- 227/235 .61x/.62x
1991 C1500 Single Cab

AFR 205s aren't made anymore unless you are picking them up used. AFR 210s are the replacement. I think Tony Mamo would tell you the AFR 215s don't really lose any airspeed over the 210s and would probably work best. In comparison to the TFS 215s, I'd suggest you go with Brian Tooley worked TFS As-Cast 220s.
The 220s are essentially the TFS 215 port job simply cast in vs CNC machined. Tooley then hand works the heads to get them to flow similar to TFS 215s. What I like is you can get upgrades like the Powdered Metal guides for stock rocker use, BTR Springs, and turned-down LS3 valves for lightweight valvetrain. If you go that route, you're going to have an equivalent head in terms of power output at a much lower price point vs the TFS 215 or AFR 210/215 + roller rockers. Around $2200 out the door vs $2500 + $450 rockers.
