Gromm, Bayshore, Baca's, and they all basically told me that these heads are not equivalent to their SBC heads in quality nor performance. Gromm actually tested these heads and they do not flow what they are advertised, and they need a lot of cleanup. I was told "They try to get these flow numbers so high to the point where other manufacturing processes are compromised. Just get AFR's!!!" -Flow numbers arent everything! <img border="0" alt="[patriot]" title="" src="graemlins/patriot.gif" /><br /> <br /> <small>[ October 15, 2003, 12:26 PM: Message edited by: Chosen1 ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>stoauto</b> <br /><small>Member # 2803</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2003,9,15,12,35,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> hey thanks man!! i really appreciate it, so AFR it is. i'm sorry to hear that the pro-actions AREN'T as great as they advertise. what a shame, oh well. hey THANKS AGAIN for the info! <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>st5150</b> <br /><small>Member # 51</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2003,9,15,13,31,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> I dunno, the numbers don't look too too bad to me.

IMHO the mentioned shops that you talked to are not very good or have very little R&D time with these heads.<br /><br />On the flow bench (which is only a tool) when worked on they sound real good. They also put out great average numbers! Plus, the head has WAY more meat for porting and moving things around. <br /><br />AFR heads will always be a good street head but that's it! The Pro action stuff can be a great standard valve angle head on the street and on the track. Like the high ports. It is a great head for Comp Eliminator! The iron version that is.<br /><br />Eric<br /> <br /> <small>[ October 15, 2003, 06:36 PM: Message edited by: yellow67stang ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
