AFR heads installed update, removed PP heads yesterday, checked installed height on AFR's both heads were at 1.78 with crane springs and retainers. installed crane springs and prepped for install today. started assembly after noon today, sprayed .040 cometics with permatex copper, torqued studs to 70 with moly. adjusted 1.8 crane rockers as per VHP instructions, amazingly quiet valvetrain. used 7.325 p/rods on AFR's milled .024. Appears to be decent geometry. brought engine to operating temp and varied the idle speed on jackstands, then changed the oil. will post up once i get the #'s from this baby cam. Thanks again tony, hats off to AFR, quality products.

I'm thinking if it would have caused some issues he would have found out already....LOL
Hopefully the AFR's help you clear the 400 mark....Looking forward to the results. Also, seeing as you will have driven the car with both heads Im curious about your input regarding low speed drivability, throttle response, etc.
Keep us posted....Good luck
