1,000,000,000,000,000,000 better than porting ALUMINUM

How many times better is it than porting a cast iron exhaust manifold?

That's a nice subtle hint, lol.

Rest assured, my AFRs are on the way. (Accidently picked up 2 sets)

Pull the triggered on a set, while on the waiting list for another. So ended up w/ 2, and decided I'd try to sell them, rather than take the 25% restock hit. I'd worry if they were other heads, but AFRs hold their value.

I wish I had that kind of extra cash lying around to just "accedentally" purchase 2 sets of AFR heads. I thought I was doing well to buy a set of 100 dollar embroidered headrests.

thats why I think the C4 and the LS1 are a perfect marriage. Sure I'd love a C5 or C6... but dropping the front end for service is BS!
