Default Thinking of getting the new AFR Heads

Is anyone thinking of getting the new AFR Mongoose heads? Do you think that the 225cc intake runner is too big for a stock bore and stroke? I think that with FAST iintake and a big cam it will still put up well over 500hp prolly around 550. What do u guys think?

"Aspirated"

2.08 valve on the 225's. That's a bit much for the stock bore. I'd recommend at least a 4.00 preferably larger for that valve size.

I am ordering two sets of AFR heads for customers in the next week or so. One 225 for a big bore and a set of 205's for a stock displacement supercharged motor.

Good luck.
