Default Good deal on a head/cam package???

Here is what I found.....

-Ferrea 2.055/1.60 valves
-Patriot Gold double springs
-Titanium retainers, locks, and locators
-Custom valve job
-Mill, cleaning, and assembly
-Flow about 315/220
-Custom grind cam included

--$1675 plus shipping.--

I take my heads of the SS, send them to him to get done, then he sends them back. AFR's web site says that their 205's flow 298CFM. Could these really flow that much better for a whole lot less $$, or am I just a noob with heads and how they work???

Check 0.3, 0.4, 0.4 and 0.550 lift numbers vs cc port size. Even then, its a gamble. Compare to the top heads such as AFR, TFS,...

Watch out though, sometimes you get what you pay for. I wouldn't use anything but the best when it comes to cam and heads. You may get lucky and get a set of nice heads that work better than all of them too.

Thats a whole lot of flow. I suspect some flowbench tricks to artificially inflate your numbers. Is it a sponsor on the board? Or is it ebay?
