I really don't know the answer to that.

Back in the late months of 2003 and early months of 2004 MM&FF ran eight issues of cylinder head test on 4 different classes. One week they would put the heads on the flowbench, the next they would stick them on a motor. I bought every issue and gave most of them away to people making the decisions on which heads to buy.

If you do a search on the net for MM&FF Ultimate Cylinder Head Test, you may get lucky and find the article. Lots of info on heads on the market.

funny you would say that side i visited the same site no less then an hour ago how ever a 227cc set of heads from bennett raceing is $2695.00 at its cheapest and a set of AFR's are only $2,016.99 is the extra $600 worth it in your mind couse you and i both know when upgrading $600 here and $150 there turns into $2000 real quick what do you think?

I paid 1350$ for a set of stock high ports, this year I dumped another 600$ into port work and upgraded valvetrain. The cam is a custom design from Jay Allen 623/605..231/241, idles nice and clean doesnt surge or die at stoplights. Please do some more research and you'll see that TF makes a superior head to AFR for near the same cost.

The heads/cam/intake is pretty badass, the tko 600 was a good mod too

The intake is pretty much a carbeurated victor junior lower drilled to run fuel injectors. Its got an accufab 90mm TB and a 95mm PMAS. runs good enough to beat pullied cobras, even with 58% percent blowby.. just wait till it gets new rings and pistons..
