Trick flows are cheaper than the AFR's and the AFR185's you have to notch your piston for valve clearence on a stock short block....Both heads are really good....

Thaey are the same head except for springs upgraded and lack of smog injection ports in the Track Heats. So, either can be ported and will yield excellent results when done by a professional that knows those heads.

Is this a boosted or all motor combo? Do you care about smog?

You really can't go wrong with any of the heads mentioned for a NA motor. Consider milling the heads for a little more compression since you'll stay NA [patriot]
