AFR???
 
What do you guys/gals think of these AFR heads on a naturally asperated motor? Are they just as good or better than lets say Edelbrock,Trickflow,GT40X,or any other head.
Any help or articles would be a great help.

Thanks

I have been looking at heads for my 1970 351 Mustang too. From all of the information I have seen, the AFR heads flow better than anything else on the market. I plan on buying a set when I get the rest of my components nailed down. MiracleMax is putting a set on his car soon and said he would post costs and performance figures.

I called and talked to a guy named Ed Curtis (he know's his chit) up in Rhode Island. He said the AFR 165's are the best head you can get for the street.

I have the 351W set with 185cc and they make so much torque it is totally incredible.
I'm making almost 600# of torque with my set-up.. These heads are the big contributor to that number, high flow and small runners, combined with high compression.

I have the AFR 165cc in my 66' Coupe, Ed Curtis did a nice custom cam to compliment
the heads. I'm useing a stock roller shortblock, i'm REALLY happy with the combo.

I just ordered mine from a place called JD's performance in Orlando Florida, their number is 888-217-0899, they also have a website but I don't know it off hand. They just a group purchase on the AFR heads, both 165 and 185cc, pedestal and stud mount, and 65/58cc comb. chambers. Cost was $1175, everywhere else jumped up to 1325 this year from $1250 last year. The group purchase ended on January 31st though. I should have mine in 3 weeks. And by the way, they seem to be the best head for the street, they produce some impressive numbers.

do you guys think that DSS would be able to put AFR heads on a 331 long block?
