AFR Heads, Plug Angle Question?
Looking at the AFR web page for the 210 cc heads, they list an angle plug head and a L98 plug head. Can someone explain the difference? The L98 head uses an angled plug also, correct?
Thanks for any explanation. :)

Re: AFR Heads, Plug Angle Question? (lead_foot)
AFR has their own, proprietary angle. Hooker (2149 & 2151) headers for one won't fit the "AFR angle" heads. Therefore AFR offers heads with the "L98 angle" in addition to their own angle. Plug wise, at least, the AFR "L98 angle" heads are a direct replacement for stock L98 heads. Good luck, and...

Re: AFR Heads, Plug Angle Question? (CFI-EFI)
As of last month, AFR no longer make the 'angle' head, they now only make the 'L98' angle plugs.
They have also deleted 190's from the product range.
How do I know this?? I have some on order :D :D :D

Re: AFR Heads, Plug Angle Question? (lead_foot)
youll need 'L98 angle' heads from AFR, their angle wont bolt to some headers
i think theyve decided to drop the 190cc, in favor of 195cc, since they flow practically the same, but i'm not sure

Re: AFR Heads, Plug Angle Question? (lead_foot)
So the angle is the angle of the head surface on the exhaust side. Correct? Or am I still confused.
Thanks for the responses guys. :)

Re: AFR Heads, Plug Angle Question? (lead_foot)
approx 10 degrees difference. Enough to make the plug hit the header primary.
I have some 210's (1053's) with the comp CNC. Gorgeous tracts!
They flow like mad.

Re: AFR Heads, Plug Angle Question? (lead_foot)
AFR calls the angle plug head a Bowtie angle. I have these on my car but they are the 220's. I had to cut 2 tubes out of the right header(LPE) and weld new tubes in with different bends. They also have a raised exhaust port that makes the headers tighter to the floor.

Once ported the 195s flow a little better upstairs. The 190s still show up on the price list that came with the catalog.
Have they since discontinued the 190s; since the catalog went into print?
