BTW, what does AFR ship them with? Patriot Golds and Ti Retainers? Are any worthwhile valve upgrade available?

Going to revive this one, mainly because I'm still unsure exactly what parts AFR ships their heads outfitted with. Anyone?
Lots of threads already exist to discuss AFR vs the others...

Dude you keep going round and round and round.
I'll itemise it for you:
2- Bare AFR head castings, CNC'd, guides, valve job
8- 2.02 Stainless intake valves
8- 1.60 Stainless exhaust valves
16- PP Gold dual springs good to .650 lifts
16- Titanium retainers
16- Hardened seats
8- intake valve seals
8- exhaust valve seals
32- locks (they are 2 piece/ valve)
They are assembled, checked, buffed, spit on, dusted and look beautiful.
They are out of box at 66cc (unmilled)
and then they are packed > shipped. (free shipping) for $2182.00

Bigger valve spring package.
"Super Seven" retainers and locks.
Even solid roller valvetrain if you are so inclined..

I really hate whiners, but thanks for finally writing out what is included with the heads. I'm sure someone else will get something out of this post by having it written out...calling the vendor really doesn't share that info with anyone bit myself. Can we drop the crybaby stuff guys? PLEASE
Back to business. So according to EDC's post the vendors don't all use the same equipment, but Predator noted some specifics (PP springs, ti retainers)...so is predators info what AFR ships with, then the vendors adjust as they see fit? I'm thinking yes, but want to be sure.
