i cant say if theyre good or bad, im just saying what my friends said. im still running stock top end kit, so, i cant say yay or nay about ANY type of top end setup from personal preference. haha

AFR was first a chevy company and like all chevy counterparts..they were losing money so what's the next best thing to do??? make ford parts..an inline head is a factory produced head...after that afr is copying everything, and i'm not talking about the dodge heads either.
look at the rpm intake by edelbrock...after the patent everybody jumped on the design..and with flaws..so how can a true ford enthusiast respect let alone honor a copy catted head

wow. heres another example of someone who hates something because it is popular. there is a reason why AFR's are used so often. they actually work and produce great numbers. there are always people who hate things because they are popular. and the copying thing is a joke. all the small block ford cylinder heads are similiar and different in some respects. someone always will come along and take someone elses design and improve it and sell it as their own. i guess we shouldn't buy any of the main brands because they are copy catters? wow

true....in ref to grabeem's post, but it all depends on what ones budget and goal is in the end on what the build must consist of.......if I ever buy another aluminum head, TFS will be my next choice

I just don't know where you come off saying they suck. clearly they are one of the best heads for small block fords or no one would use them. your copy catting argument is completely bs also. so no im not flapping my jib or whatever. just responding to what you say.
