I he really insists on making the AFR mistake I have a friend considering getting rid of his TPIS ported ones in favor of some AI 190s like I have.
The AFR stuff was good on gen 1s GM stepped it up in a big way with the LT1 heads and all AFR did was make the same old castings reverse flow in doing so they are basivcally giving you OLD gen 1 designs. ALL the fast LT1s you see with AFRs spent cubic dollars on making those turds work back before shops had maximized the stock heads they way they have and today folks are going just as fast with a lot less in the whole car not just in the heads.

i went with thwe trick flows on my 383 they flow great but i did have them ported and polished before they went on but stock heads with porting and polishing with a 3 angle valve job work great for stock bottom ends

I dont think anyone is knocking them. I think that what is being said is there are better options for your money depending on what your goals are. Seems true concidering there are plenty of Stock ported head guys seeing over 400.

Iron LT1 heads are 64cc chambers as are Trickflows.
You would think people who own parts are a good source of info on the results of them but in my observation with expensive things like OH say AFR heads those who make the mistake will defend it to the grave never admitting it was a mistake. Not all guys who make expensive mistakes like that do so but many do, it takes a big man to say they were wrong.
