The AFR's are excellent, expensive, and pre ported. The TFS Street heads, flow very well, are cheap, and unported. The GT40X I have yet to see make outstanding numbers on any car.

I can get a good deal on the GT40X heads. I could probably get a set for around $900.00 and port them. Im looking for a minumum of 400 hp though.


Like I said, almost any of the aftermarket heads will put you in the 400's. I had a set of Windsor jr's on my 347 and they took me to a 11.8 @116mph. All they had was a gasket match and some exhaust work that I did myself, and the jr's are fore street stangs not race cars. I don't know anyone with the gt40x's but I do know FMS sells a 302 long block with them on there and it makes 345 out of the box. I'm sure if you had them ported you would be at 400 easy with a 347.

Thanks for the info guys. How much are the AFR's? The stage II TFS heads were around 2 grand. Thats getting pricey. I want to keep the price around $1500.00 tops.

I think there are some somewhat local places that do porting, with stage II around $500-650. I believe. You could buy the heads and take them there.

I paid 1700 for my afr 205's, the only thing I had to do was put pc valve seals in 'em..if you specify them I'm sure they'd put them in for you. I like the fact that they are a FINISHED head. The 5 angle valve job was actually in the right spots! (the 185's would be a good pick too if you want to save money.)

Dominion 32v heads!!

Camshaft breaking, DOHC power swilling beasties. Any one know if they still make those??

LOL

They still make them for chevys, but I don't think the ford versions ever took off. awesome heads though.

I was considering getting a set of AFR 185's and putting them on my car now untill I get the stroker finished, then swapping them over.
