WTF, not even close dude. Just got my 225's for $2300. And they flow 340cfm on the intake, and 269 on the exhust. Also, ur not stuck with a junk factory casting. It'll ruin ur day if they ported ur heads too close to a water jacket, and it trashes ur motor. I've been there before with my last set of heads.

doesnt cnc porting eliminate the chance of porting to close to a water jacket?

nope, mine were CNC'd, still broke through. Heads were no longer under warrenty, so i was **** outta luck. Some companys really push the limits just to get big flow #'s. Then the customer ends up paying for it.

Just a FYI, we have never had a water jacket problem with our heads... You dont need to just hog out a head to get air flow, when you do it right you dont have those kinds of problems.

I heard Trick Flows will net the most power and be the most expensive. My concerns are getting the max power with getting maximum driveability. Mods are in my sigs. Thanks guys.
AFR205 heads and G5X3 cam... one of the better combos, a bit pricey but you gotto pay to play. my 2 cents.

This wouldn't even be a problem unless you're dealing with a runner that's been heavily ported and quite large.
