AFR heads are NICE! i was in GEN3 performance the last 2 days doing a H/C swap and SCOTT had a new set of AFR 205cc heads and they are really nice! the CNC work looks
great, chambers 66cc but look differentn than a 5.7 or LS6 head!
to bad there $2000+

I disagree myself, but we will have to wait and see.
What holds us back more than the heads is the intake setup's we have on LSx motor's.
The heads will generate better flow numbers than ever before and will make more power but 600 a common number isn't very likely.

All this is speculation.
I felt the same way about 205's untill I saw the results of a 1 to 1 swap VS LS6 heads on a ZO6 at LAPD. That evaporated any doubt I had about the AFR's potential.
Let us wait for the test results.

CFM doesnt mean that the heads will make huge amounts of power, What makes the AFR's so good is that you get good flow numbers 300cfm out of a 205cc runner which means you get great velocity and cylinder filling, which means bada$$ hp and torque, plus it wont be another 430rwhp car that runs 12.50's

Saving cash right now for the 205, going to get a mild cam to go with em, 220-220 116LSA or around there. Hoping for 370-380+ RWHP through stock manifolds and cats in my stock A4. Nice little sleeper vehicle, hope people (ignorant) keep ******* these heads so I get a cheaper price come December.

After out of box AFR 205 66cc 409rwhp 391tq w/tune

Then I got a tip on TSP special offer $2189.00 with dual PP "gold" springs, so I ordered a set
getting them flat milled to 62cc (11:1 CR with Cometic gasket) One other thing.
I recall a while back the discussion on better locks being designed by someone and then sold with the dual gold Patriots springs. Someone had tried a timing light on stock locks and had discovered serious issues. Does anyone know if these have the updated locks?
