So it looks like Tony is redeemed. Special thanks to Tom Hemphill of Hemphill racing engines in Clarksburg, PA who flowed these for me tonight. Super nice guy. These figures are on a Superflow SF600 bench. The intake used a 1206 radiused inlet with a little clay in the corners to match the corners on the AFR port. The exhaust numbers posted are WITHOUT a pipe and Tom told me he thought they would pick up maybe 5-7 cfm. Tom is totally independent and does not sell AFR heads. In fact he sells Brodix and Dart heads.

He also analyzed the the port velocity and thought the heads would be killer if building a street car since the velocity was very high but would max out if building a big cube high winding motor because at .600 lift, the port velocity was 375 feet per second. I explained my goals and intentions and how I was looking for streetable power and not max power at 7000 and he agreed that these heads would be perfect for that.

I know the real proof is how they run on the motor and I'm hoping to have things back together for Summer. I'm happy with my purchase and love these heads. They have all the ingredients to perform as expected for the type of motor I'm building.

As far as I know this is the only independent flow data on the forum for this head. I give it

 

They flow more air at .400 than my current heads flow at their peak(.600)
I have a set of 1040's on the shelf currently and plan to put them on a mild 406.

 

HEY PETE, what are 1040's? i have 041 castings with 2.02 valves
my buddie is bringing up two pairs of camel hump heads, wonder if they are better than what i got

 

Wow I'm officially impressed.

 

1040 is the part number for AFR's new Eliminator 195 cc runner, off the shelf head.
It is cnc ported
angle plug
65cc combustion chambers
3/8 stud
.600 lift spring
etc
Flow on these is supposed to be something like 285 cfm @550 lift. I forget the exact numbers, but they are very impressive.

 

Very nice, they outflow my ported AFR-210 heads, @ 7-10 cfm

 

Those are GREAT flow numbers, especially the .100 through .400 lift ranges. In that range, they're stronger than the hand ported AFR 190's I have.

Hard for me to make an apples to apples comparison though because mine were flowed with a 4.030 bore @ 28" on a SF600 and my valves are a tad larger. Also, mine are going on a +.060 bore block so the larger bore size will make a difference in flow since the valves will be unshrouded a bit more.

Can't take it away from AFR though, those are truly great numbers to achieve from a 195 cc head.

Could be that I may end up wishing I had waited for the release of the new LT1/4 heads. Anything on the pricing of the LT heads yet?

Congrats to Tony and AFR.

What does a set of heads like this cost? ballpark

 

Those are great numbers, I'm looking to get some 210's from AFR soon

 

Race Ready's are about $1440, Comp versions are about $1999.

BTW: The race ready's generally flow a touch more than the advertised numbers as well...

Wonder where everyone is who bad mouthed AFR head and Tony???


Cruizer

 

Rest assured, they will appear eventually

 

justice is served. i'm damn glad for it.

 

Dragging their camel humped-factory bathtub combustion chambered cross up the next street.

 

he he, just because i couldnt afford it doesnt mean i would knock it.

 

 

Bill:

I hope I'm not too late on this post but I also have a set of the 195 comps. I waited over a year for these so naturally I'm VERY interested in the flow numbers. Are your heads 64 or 75 cc chambers?

My machinist hasn't been able to get good numbers on the heads because he doesn't have a radiused plate for the intake. Using clay he can't get decent flow numbers above .5" of lift. I am going to order a Brzezinski plate to finish our tests.

 

 

What cam are you going to go with?

 

Chris,

I have the 65cc combusion chambers;
