Default Taking orders on AFR heads

I am taking pre ordes on the new AFR cylinder heads. There won't be enough to go around for a while, so it's a good idea just to get your name on the list. I don't like the idea of taking money up front for something I can't deliver immediately so I will be taking the orders without a deposit. Orders will be filled in the order they were recieved. If you decide not to accept the heads when they become available, the next person in line will get yours and so on. You are not 100% bound to accept your order, but please only put your name on the list if you're seroius.
You can e mail or call me and we'll work out the details.
If you answer on this post, I'll IM you and we can get the details hammered out that way. Don't get mad if I don't answer IM s or e mails within 5 minutes. :D I'm awfully busy and it may be a day or two.
If you have any questions please post them here. That way everyone can get the answers and I won't have to answer the same ones repeatedly. It will also keep this thread alive for others. If it's a techical question that pertains specifically to your combination, by all means, contact me personally.
Thanks :cheers:

Here's a question or 5 - how much do they cost, and what are the real benefits over say, ported LS6 heads? Will they work with the regular cams, and do they come with springs/retainers etc or are they "Bare" ? If they do come with springs/retainers/valves/etc, what are the specs on those peices?

Thanks! :)

I've been out of time and just got around to answering all my e mails, Ims and checking the boards.
The port design is based on the LS6 head but has a raised floor and some other areas that are filled in. No ported OEM head can duplicate this.
Dual springs, titanium retainers, etc are included in the price.
The 205 head will be $2424 with no exchange needed. That's 3% off Racer Net. That's also the lowest price allowed by AFR.
For those that have a small auto related business ( with proof) wholesale pricing can be obtained through us.

I'm in for the 205 ported heads. I sometimes have problems with the IM popup so I'm sending you an email directly as well.
