AFR 's get my vote, as well. Small intake runners, alot of meat and AFR's blueprinted creation ... can't go wrong with 'em, for sure.

I ordered ETP 215s from Fraser at SpeedInc a week or so ago and they'll be fitted by mid-January. I'll know how good they are then, I 'spose. The AFR and ETs were both highly recommended and for me, it came down to the fact that ETs could ship before Christmas.

I'm hoping to get a good pick-up in power and torque from low - high range and I'll probably keep the rev limiter at 6800rpms for my set-up. We'll see how it goes.

Cheers,

Macca

I got a set of ET's from MPH. Went with them cause could bump the compression up a bit more with my cam and not worry about PTV issues and quick turn around on heads. We'll see how they perform in the comming months, flows seem really good.

Hand-ported LS6 heads. Like the ones S.A.M. Racing is running on the orange Camaro, or a set of MTI hand ported heads.

go look at the flowsheets
http://www.motorsporttech.com/fbody_engine01.asp
they are a little better than AFR 205cc heads but not as good as ET Performance 215cc heads. But the S.A.M. racing heads flow 408cfm! But I dont know at what lift. I do know that they are using a 278/290 solid roller cam with .915/.820 lift...so it could be higher.

I'm pretty sure once I get heads they will be TSP heads, just look who has the fastest heads/cam car, numbers don't lie...
