I have MTI Stage 2R. I agree in saying if your doing a NA 346 or even a Heads/Cam/Spray setup you cant go wrong with MTI Stage 2E heads at $1700

I vote for AFRs as I have had good results with my baby cam and my AFRs.

I wont be doing spray, but you sure have some nice numbers

Im not expecting more that 420 RWHP no matter which heads I choice. After all it's only the TR224. That's why im looking to be more at 410 RWHP

I just made 414 rwhp on a 02 Z06 with the stock cam and manifolds. AFR's for sure-they simply work and AFR is always there when you need them!

See my sig. I feel I have more HP/TQ with new headers/exhaust setup and maybe a 90 mm intake setup. Torque curve is almost flat thru the whole RPM range. Count me in as one satisfied AFR customer.

To the people that are voting for AFRs, which heads are you using? The 205 or 225's?

Most of them are 205's since the 62cc 225 is not on the market yet.

I would have thought you'd have better numbers with that cam. Im expecting to be there with the Tr224 and your can is slightly larger

The numbers are very consistent with what others are getting, although I was hoping for a little more. That being said, I have a 4 yr. old set of headers, stock cats, stock pulley, conservative tune, and changed the compression by going from .040 Cometics to .045.

I think with something like a Kooks or SuperMaxx setup, some more tuning, I can coax it up to 430/400. In a year or so, I'm shaving the heads another .016 and going with a G5X-3 cam. For now, I'm very satisfied and don't have the cash to chase 20 more HP/TQ.
