looking to get to 500rwhp
patroits may flow the same,but from what i've witnessed they DON'T perform the same. i've seen lots of head and camed combos at the track(patroits,speed incs,tsp's,ect) and i have kill them in performance. not to bash the patroit product,it's a good budjet head and it does perform great. i'm just way happy i went with the AFR 205 head,it was worth it. on a mustang dyno,346ci through a 12bolt w/4.11's i make 463hp 414tq and was 25hp more on a dynojet,no ele-waterpumps and everything hooked up when tuned.

if you've ever tried getting their panties off while in the car

Sometimes it takes time to get it all right. I have been there myself.

I'm in the same boat as you are. I'm at 460rwhp with my set up which consists of TSP LS6 heads w/ 2.00/1.55 valves, MS3, Unported FAST 90, Unported LS2 TB, ASP pulley, LG street LTs, Vram, and Tune... I'm now trying to get 500, but i don't think im going to make it there. I'm doing an Aluminum flywheel to help free up some more power and I'm going to have my FAST and TB ported. I think in the end, I'll be at 480. With those 2.05 valves, I don't know how much of a larger cam you can go with w/o flycutting. I think with those valve and the G5X3 you may hit.

Tell the whole story...the ported ls6 heads did just as well as the overpriced afr heads with slightly more torque over a broader rpm range. What I took from that article was how little difference the heads made. All the other components make much more difference than heads alone.
