Still doesn't mean it is correct though. I don't really trust magizines that dyno. Only what I have seen work.

I have zero complaints with my AFR's. I sat them next to my dad's TF heads and the milling on the AFR's is far, far superior.

rilly what size of heads? i do have to admit that i like AFR's better but i do know that trickflow is a high end company so they are probably doing somthing right.. so i might as well check them out give them a chance and who knows maybe somthing for me... but ya thanks for posting hope to hear back from you soon

If you jump on a lot of other mustang boards and type in high ports you always get good feedback. As for my junk its got a 347 stroker, C.I. Billet cam, QMM ported HP's, EFI spyder intake, TKO 600, Built 8.8... I could go on for days
That is going to be a STRONG running car. I have a cam from the cam company (camshaft innovations) and canfield heads (they mimic high ports, not made any more either). "CI" also sells trickflow heads with the correct springs for your cam.
The twisted wedge and high port heads are the best bang for the buck, by a long shot.

"Big" head, custom billet cam, "big" efi intake, and hang on for dear life.

funny thing is when it was running it had a bunch of blowby yet it was still faster than it was before the mods.. we'll see how it does with a fresh set of rings and pistons in it
