Time for change. Top end and valve train at least.

Welcome to the AFR club!!!
. Love those valve covers. Mine are drilled for perimeter VCs as well but I'm gonna be reusing my massive cantons since I know they will clear the 1.7 shaft mounts.
Looks like your build is gonna be absolutely sick!
Care to give the rough range of that bullet cam?

Thanks man. I definitely like these valve covers. I heard a few people haven't had good luck getting the Canton's to seal on AFR heads so I sold mine and got these from AFR. IMO, they look a little taller than the Canton's I had.
Without giving away LE's cam specs, I can tell you that lift is around .650, duration is around 250 and LSA is 112.

I know that your for the most part right. I still purchased my Trickflows. I got a good deal on them and I honestly think they are a great cylinder head.
I still bought mine after reading this article
I am sure you will remember and others would like to know

I dont see that much of a difference?

The TFS heads are great, no doubt. For an all out build though the AFRs have enough advantages to edge their way out IMO.

Cam sounds nasty - I just wanted those rough numbers for curiousity sake

Damn man I think everyone is going 383 and a LE cam LOL. This makes me want to get mine finished even faster.
Any pics of that ps/ac relocator? I can't find them on Speed Inc's site.

Recently upgraded my 396 LT1 heads to the AFR 195CC LT1 Competition heads. Previously had the ported TPIS LT1 heads. The car dyno'd 409RWHP/415RWTQ when MTI did the 396 nine years ago.
Plan to do a dyno tune next month with Moe Bailey. We are sitting at 440RWHP/434RWTQ
with just a mail order tune and rich A/F. Should hit 450 RWHP. Kept my 230/236 XE cam that MTI installed. Strong low/mid torque. Peak HP at 6400 RPM's now.
