AFR 190's?
AFR 190's? How do AFR 190's compare to AI 200cc or LE2 heads? I have a set of stock heads that have been cleaned up but I am looking for something that will make more power. The bottom end is a forged 383 with SRP flat top pistons.
If they are stock they dont come close to comparing. If they are ported they can be similiar. Depends how much those AFRs will run you. In the long run if you have AI or LE port those heads they can produce some great numbers. AFRs have alot of meat on them so they are alot better for porting opposed to stock castings. I got a set of ported 190s and they seem to work pretty decent for what i paid.
Unported AFR 190's are going to be middle of the road between your present heads and AI's or LE2's.
Personally, I don't see the point for that much money.
Only if they were COMPETENTLY ported and proven would I bite.

With a forged 383 I would be looking at a much bigger head then an as-cast 190.
They have potential when ported, but for that money, depending on your goals, you will probably be better off with some ported stockers.

It really depends on if you want more then a stock ported LE2 or AI ported head offers down the road. You could go with the trick flow as cast 21 deg head and be as close or better then a LE2 head. They have more potential down the road but it all depends on what the budget is and what the goal is. Stock ported LE2's and AI's are no slouch. A trickflow 21 deg head cnc'd by AI.... I here is just flat out bad ***. With the right bottom end, cam and valve train it will be on the range of 500 rwhp N/A.
