Joel,
That is based off cross section and combining it with flow potential.
The Canfield's mentioned up above (which I was comparing them too) are in the 2.26" range, while the AFR 185's are in the 2.25" range. The AFR heads have a better exhaust port.
Then throw in the AFR 205 heads cross section, and it is got a solid lead in power potential.
As far as saying the recent Canfield popularity has shot up, it is true.
Even just a few years ago, you just did not hear about them on forums or in "real life." They have been around for YEARS. It is not a new head that has made leaps and bounds, right?
They are a good head, but much of the popularity is due to recent marketing. Much like anything really...
Overkill - I find it ironic how one cannot say that a head is marketed good (which is taken as bad), but one can say how a particular head is good, without testing it theirself.
What do you think?
