I am not knocking the AFR head,I am just quoting one of the most respected engine builders in the country,and that is Ron Robart from Fox Lake Power Products,he is not a big fan of the AFR head because he says he has found problems with their flow numbers,but at the same time another reputable engine builder Ed Curtis loves the AFR head especially the 165 on stock or near stock street driven 302's,it is all a matter of personal taste and the equipment you decide to run,like Ron and both Ed told me no junk parts,they are all good,but it is some junk combos out there under people hoods,that is all I am saying, oops I just knocked someone combo LOL

The most interesting thing about respected engine builders is a lot of the time they are trying to sell you their products, or the product line they carry. If they stock a competing brand that's quality, and they make more money off it, they are going to push it.

The dyno's show the AFR 165 and 185 are good heads. So do the dozens of flowbench tests on them. They may not flow as good as the best numbers ever recorded, but I've yet to see a test where they flowed poorly.

Really all I'm trying to find out is why his intake/cam/head/stroker is making 270hp when it should be making 370hp.
