To answer your question. Do not take our advice. Pull up the numbers for AFR, TF, BRODIX and Victor Jr.'s and let the heads sell themselves. I have owned TF's and AFRS and can give you good and bad points on both.

There I ain't pimpin' nobody's heads for them.

I recently got to compare TFTW heads and AFR 165s heads side by side. Here's the rundown. The Trickflow heads look very nice, they have good fabrication to them and are overall a good looking head. While the AFRs may not look as good, the intake and exhaust port work on them is outstanding and the quality where it counts does lie in the AFR heads. But like AFR told me, you buy a cylinder head for the performance gains, not for how it looks...

also, here is a page that compares many different heads, its the first chart: http://forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?t=334773

I would go with AFR 165cc Heads
Edelbrock Performer RPM or Trickflow Track-Heat Intake
Don't know what cam cause the 94-95 computers don't cope with big cams well.

AFR did a test on a completly stock (auto) 94 GT and gained 1.7 tenths with thier 165 heads, Intake manifold, other bolt ons and the stock cam.

i would suugst the 185's but with a stock bottom end go with the 165's!!!! go to afr's website. My neibor and my friend got heads at same time and my neigbor got the tw's and friend got the afr 165's. Well they raced b4 swap and were even give or take half car length depending on start.....after the swap my friend with the afr's would always win by over a car length everytime... neither one had a tune or anything. I am a firm believer in the afr's thats y i got me a set of them and am nothing but impressed.....

MM&FF had an article (this month?) about RHS being back in the game. I'd be interested to see what they do against the rest....

yea but with rhs you have to use a bigger runner to achieve the same power... For exapmle they say that the rhs heads outflow the afr heads by a little bit. It is 6 cfm, but what they are using is the rhs 200cc runner, and the afr 185cc heads. Which in turn will make you loose even more low end torque.. Correct me if i am rong but thats what i collected in my research.

I have Trick flow twisted wedge heads, Cam and I am very pleassed with them. AFR's are good too, probably better or the same as TFS.
You can get the set of h/c/i, timing chain, but the gastkets you might want to buy and probably head bolts too.
Good luck and 94GT's are nice!
