I have always been pro AFR. However, Trick Flow, and the Victorsare hands down outproducing everyone on the block. I am going with 5 Axis Victor Gliddens on my former 408 that is going to be a 426. But our of the box, the Victor Jr's and TF's are a really hard head to beat. I have seen good numbers with Canfields, but insane numberss with Victors and TF-R's

that's not what engine building is about using a small cam to compensate for the wrong headsthe 205 are fairly larger for a street car that will likely not see the 4800-6800 it needs to see the REAL benefit of the heads

Think about it.....wouldn't it be the opposite....= using a big cam to compensate for the wrong heads?.......

a 2.02 valve head will work great on that setup..I'm partial to canfield. using a nice undercut valve and a GOOD 5 angle valve job will improve flow of 10-13% of when you can use it!
