I am a huge fan of twisted wedge heads. I have sold and installed a lot of AFR heads, and they do have a good head. I just prefer the TFS stuff. I like having a 2.02 valve that doesn't require notching the pistons for most of the entry level camshafts out there. AFR should get on the ball and make an intake that is specific to their heads that's not carb'd. Corral and Ed Curtis are the reason for the AFR popluarity imho. They were a chevy head company that decided to enter into the Ford market after TFS had already come out with some great pieces. Just all in what you want, both heads will give you about the same results. One day when I have a lot of extra cash laying around, I'm going to dyno test heads back to back one week. Then the facts will speak for themselves. Most magazine comps are biased big time.

and again I was able to get TF NIB, delivered to my door on sale for $1k.

I have heard you can make good power from both so it seemed like the better choice.

I think if I was able to do the testing I mentioned above, that's what it would show, that both heads produce similar power. Maybe later this summer I can do that.

they are popular because they work. afr 165 9 times out of 10 out performs the larger valved wedge head.

It's never about one piece of the puzzle...it's always about the combination.

I've made great power with Dart heads, AFR heads, TFS heads, and Edelbrock heads.

Exactly, and that's why I would like to do that test, just to have that to post up whenever someone 'knows without a doubt' that one head is better than another.
