you realize that price is for 1 head not a pair!!.............spend a little more for a set of aluminum ones and get way better results and as far as overheating and aluminum, I 've had my set for 7 years and never an issue, by the proper gauges and your car will never reach a point to overheat where damage will occur as such

You should determine your overall goal for the car. Then make your decision accordingly. AFR and TW are both great....only suggestion I have if you are going to stay small disp. and NA 302/306 I would probably go AFR 165's and a custom CI or FTI cam. But if you plan on someday adding boost. or going bigger on the bottom end. Then TFS or 185's. Both great products not like you can make a "wrong" decision.

That is not true.You just have to run a 90 degree plug boot.Number 7 plug is the only one that even comes close.

Im running a cheap pair of BBK chrome shorties on mine with 90 boots and no issues.

Do the research and you will find out why. Here are some of the reasons.

#1 small block Ford head in NMRA racing history.

A ton of room to grow. You can start with a 170cc head and use the heads as you motor grows. Meaning there is plenty of room for porting in the future.

The only 2.02" intake valve head to clear a stock short block up to around 230 degrees of duration and .540" lift.
