Default 415 which heads

Please Read before voting.

I'll be running 11:1 CR, and I have two choices AFR 225 or TF 235. My goals are as much hp without sacraficing drivability. Now I know its obvious if you want peak drivability go AFR can't beat it. But I'm saying if the TF's drive virtually as well and make better numbers then I'll consider them.


THis is a STREET car which will never see track time however will get a fair share of highway roll racing. Cam choice is still up in the air but will be fairly mild considering.

The cam is going to effect your drivability more than the heads will. With 4.11 gears in the rear you will be fine with the TFS 235's. You couldn't pay me to swap my heads for AFR 225's

AFR make some very good heads for a lot of applications. For that many cubes you are going to want the better performing TFS 235's.

TFS 235 over anything, unless you do C5R heads

AFR makes a great head, no doubt there. But TFS has my vote hands down. for 415 cubes, you would benefit from the extra cc's. my 454 is getting TEA's TFS 245's, and as stated above, the cam will have a greater affect on driveability.
