Just make sure your installer dot's his "I's" and crosses his "t's". If they've done the same setup before, it shouldn't be a problem.

Hi we have a special on for the AFR 205 heads and our G5 X-3 cam. We use the Comp 921 springs with the AFR heads and mill them for the correct compression. That package is $2995 for the complete heads, G5x series cam and pushrods.

We can install it and tune it for you also.

This will get you over 440, and probably over 450rwhp.

Thanks and give us a call
