RE: why AFR'S?
AFR's are proven to make more power.
you can gain like 80hp.
the same as a 4psi supercharger.
I think the afr's are much worth it.
edelbrock victor heads are good, but you need a victor5.0 intake,
and a cam that matches the rpm range.

Actually, AFR does offer race heads, the 205s and the 225s are race heads, you can run them on the street I guess but they are considered race heads. Sorry I didn't mean to steal the post on that subject... as for your question I think for the most part they are a good reliable head with HUGE power gains, I haven't heard a bad thing about them yet. One more thing about the AFR 165s and 185s, I was reading last night in the new issue of 5.0 mustangs and super fords that the small block ford heads just became the most popular and most purchased heads.

RE: why AFR'S?
Well the reason is seen after looking at a set of Edelcrocks and AFR's, believe me.. I just purchased my 165cc AFR heads after looking at Edelbrocks. I pretty much got out of the whole thing, Edelbrock heads are a good aluminum head, but are expensive, and you can gain WAY more HP with a set of AFR's... I was also told that Edelbrock heads are mostly weight savings, and the only good head Edelbrock makes is the Vic Jr.'s...
My bro just put on his AFR's.. Went from a 14.8 to a 13.7... Like was said AFR>Edelbrocks/All

RE: why AFR'S?
why doesnt anybody mention Trickflow ?? theyre heads are just as good as AFR. when i get heads im either gonna get AFR 185's or the tfs track heat kit.....theyre both awesome performing heads though
