I would only purchase the AFR heads from an authorized distributor.

http://www.airflowresearch.com/dealer_listings.htm

Online price shopping will be difficult as AFR distributors have a minimum price they are permitted to advertise.

Finding them in stock is the hard part..I waited for a set for a couple of months and got tired of waiting and went with another brand with the same flow numbers...

More and more of our authorized dealers have decided to stock our LS1 product....some of which are in fact sponsors on this board. The sales techs here at AFR can make some suggestions to try if you're looking for a set of heads in a hurry. Our current lead time on a brand new order is approximately 4-6 weeks currently....not the end of the world and worth the wait to get the quality and proven performance benefits the AFR design offers.

Feel free to contact me directly if necessary....I will do my best to help you out.

Thanks,
Tony

If I were looking for heads, AFR would be at the top of the list. Great customer service. Posting like this lets customers know how long they will have to wait instead of keeping them hanging.

Their techs are great at letting you know what head would be the best for your individual setup as well. They saved me a lot of reading!
