Default Re: Cylinder heads. Stock iron or aluminum?

Thanks guys.

The AFRs and TFTWs sound interesting, although I must admit I don't know anything about them. I like the idea of aluminum heads coming CNC ported out of the box, and also being able to use stock valve covers. Any chance of me being able to do both? (ie, AFRs being pre-ported AND able to use stock valve covers.) Or should I think about going with the TFTWs and pocket porting?

Also, try not to laugh, but what does AFR and TFTW stand for? What is pocket porting? Porting them yourself or what? I've never done machine work, myself.

Lastly, are there any similar options from Ford? I've heard that the GT-40 heads are good, but I don't know if they come CNC ported or let you use stock covers or any nifty stuff like that.

(I want to say "air flow research" and "trick flow twisted wedge", but I'm not sure. I looked for AFR heads on summit.com and couldn't find anything, so...)
