Here is a table of other popular heads and how much they flow:

You would be looking at a CompCams 35-522-8 or 35-518-8. I can get you both of these, and they also come in a kit. Have you thought about the RHS heads? Did you compare them to the AFRs? Any questions?

You could also consider a Z-cam. You'll want a big cam with that setup. With the RPM II intake you're gonna continue to make power at 6,500.

AFR heads kill RHS. They actually flow what they are advertised for and have a better shape and Full CNC.

I know this is 2 years old, but why would anyone compare a 210cc head to a 185cc head when they have the same runner length?

Of course the 210cc is going to "flow more". Compare it to an AFR 205 next time

Promustangperformance I checked out your website and your prices are very competitive.

If you are going with AFR 165s I would call Comp, Crane, or Lunati and see what they tell you, then call Promustangperformance and price it through him.

If you are buying AFR heads go with Ed Curtis @ www.flowtechinduction.com

He actually knows what he is doing.

Onyx - That was funny
