I can't find it now but iirc in the 'street' class (afr 165, etc.) the afr was top, closely followed by the edelbrocks, then the others. If somebody's still got the mag running around throw it on the scanner and post that s**t.

What you could do is remove your stock heads, clean them up, and take them to a COMPETENT machinest that has a good rep on doing porting. You will get your heads to outflow almost aftermarket head. Aftermarket heads have a greater potential for porting, but thats just a suggestion.

I'm thinking of getting the AFR heads but I don't know what intake manifold matched up with it. Does AFR have their own line of Manifolds? If not who do you think matches up with that nicely?

Twisted Edge is great and flows better than the 165cc, barely, but the 185cc outperforms it by far, and later on Im going to want the 185cc i know... SO I want to buy those know and probably trick flow track heat intake manifold and port match it.</P>

I'd love to use heads that flow that well, but is there anything you have to change or adjust in order have those big 205cc and 225cc heads?

When using any of these heads is there any modification that need to be made to the piston heads? Will there be enough clearance for the valve and the piston dish? <IMG src=smileys/smiley3.gif border="0">

i know that you can't use conventional dome pistons with the trick flow stuff. you need flat top or TFS domed pistons for higher compression.<IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0"></P>
