hey im not arguing with ya! just too many stories of guys doing hci swaps and when they see it advertised put on this kit and itll get ya 350hp then they do it and the motors cant even muster 300? on a small displacement motor like the 302 id be more than happy with the ol 1hp per ci. yes there are wayy better heads out there i agree, but for 800 bucks considering a refresh on a set of cylindr heads with larger valves installed and zero port work will put ya up to at least 5 bills and still wont flow nearly as good as these heads hey id try em!

i was refering to HCI set ups. for nearly the same cost you can net yourself more hp then any hci involving those flotek heads. its looking at the big picture. plus investing in a better set of heads or a quality set up will give you a better platform to expand rather than buying parts twice

I did the math over and over and over. I ended up with the AFR 165's. When you consider junk aluminum heads are 1,000 bucks I felt that for another 400 I could get a set that I would never outgrow and would be perfect out of the box. The AFR's with a explorer intake and 1.7 rr's absolutely screams. I will have some 1/4 mile times as soon as the track opens.

I don't!!...why because you can not clearly draw a conclusion accurately without tunning the combo to that specific change made......if head "X" is capable of a little bit better flow than head "Y".....WOULD IT BE AN accurate result by failing to tune the carb or fuel injection system to each set up to maximize results??? what if head X flows better but is choked out by a mismatched intake and fuel metering system..ie carb or fuel injection??? would it be a correct conclusion to say head "Y" is the better choice??? hrmmmmmmmmmm maybe not....see magazine articles are often biased toward those who pay to be in the magazine , don't always believe what you read!!.....Flow is just one aspect to anylize on the heads there are other important aspects such as cross section, port volume ect ect...this could go on and on...but the important thing to realize is...what drives the reports the magazine articles produce??? Sponsors maybe???
