Maybe I should get drunk off my HATERADE elsewhere?


I was slow to take the hint, so I'm taking a break from CAFords for the rest of the month. Now excuse me while I enjoy some cereal. Mmmmm Mmmmm good. Who else wants to join me?

i have both edelbrock and AFRs....rpms arnt smog legal may need notching if using 2.02...but for smog legal TRICKFLOW are the ones ,better cam selection since they arnt a inline head,and you can run a 2.02 without notching pistons...if i wasnt hard headed and broke i woulda went with a trickflow

cmon dude those are numbers they ADVERTISE on their website for their COMPETITION 185 heads but heres what ive found for the STANDARD 185cc afr vs TFS TW 190cc. Cross sections are a bit bigger for the TFS though which help if you want to "grow" into then. Cant go wrong with either AFR or TFS though.


Intake-----AFR-------TFS TW
Lift-------185--------190--

.200-------129--------144
.300-------189--------210
.400-------234--------252
.500-------267--------268
.600-------277--------268

Ehaust-----AFR-------TFS TW
Lift-------185--------190

.200-------118-------111
.300-------153-------144
.400-------178-------182
.500-------185-------193
.600-------191-------194

and I've seen a ton of AFR's with stripped out rocker stud holes.

I'm happy with my TFS TW's, great heads for a stock shortblock.
