go pick up the january issue of gmhtp, they did a comparo of 5 diff heads. needless to say trick flow made more peak and under the curve power than afr. they are also about $100 cheaper. trick flow FTW!

wouldnt the best heads have the best peak and under the curve power to $ ratio? or is it how shiny and cool looking the name is?

The best heads depend on many factors. Included in that are price. For my combo the best head for what I wanted and the price was Dart 205s.
