it depends on your price range. most of the people on here will tell you that afrs will flow the best out of the box, but they cost about 1400. on the other ened you could pick up a set of used gt40s for around 200-300, get them ported and polished and still make some good numbers for the price you paid. theres also trick flow twisted wedges but out of the box, most of the numbers iv seen them make top out at around 270hp. supposedly they are a great head to build on later tho becuase there is alot of meat on them to get some port work done.

i priced out gt40s with a full port and aseembly from my friends dad who is pro at it he made 90 hp on some honda head but after pricing it out it was only a few hundred less than the afrs im just trying to buy parts that i dont have to replace down the road eg: the manifold i was thinking afrs everyone says their best
