Good Heads?

CrazyInBlack · 04-29-2007, 08:49 PM

Looking for some heads to match my eld performer rpm intake. I should (hopefully) be coming into some money soon. Thinking of compiling the HCI as this will not be enough for a turbo build since I have to buy a complete kit.

price is doable and they are aluminum, I know AFRs are used a lot but they seem to cost a lot more

Good job on trying to keep stuff matched up. Compare pricing on the trickflow heads also.

how do these compare to other aftermarket heads? I know you run AFRs

Any aftermarket head is going to be better than stock. I would say that Eddy's and trickflows are comparable to AFR. Both of those 'might' be a better head than my little 165's in regards to flow especially if you are looking at Eddy's with 2.02 valves

The edys are good heads. They have a very thick deck also so they are sutiable for turbo applications. The flow very well upto .500 any lift above that will only see a cfm or 2 increase. I have the new MMFF at home and it has tghe flow number on them if I am not mistaken I will look this evening.

keep in mind that those prices are for one head only

Any of the aftermarket Aluminum heads will work very well for what you're trying to do. Personally, because of the port shape, I would try to swing the AFR 165's. They'll keep excellent drivability and work very well with a little boost later. If you plan on going bigger than a 302, go with an AFR 185. That's an unbelievable head for still having "small" ports.

AFR165:
243/185 @ .500

Don't rule out Trickflow. Their Twisted Wedge deign has been proven to work very well and they flow 251/187 @ .500 out of the box.
