Default New AFR Heads

In Decemeber everyone seemed to be talking about the new AFR heads that were coming out and how great they were going to be. I have not been tuning in much lately, but I did a search and don't seem to see any updates on them in the archives. Any Dyno numbers out on these yet?

These must not have worked out as expected...or we would have seen at least some preliminary dyno numbers to compare. sj

Flyin: Now call me a pesimist, but I don't buy it. The post says that they've had to delay testing their heads because of set backs in getting dyno time.

Come on! I say put a pair of those portotype LSX's on a test mule and get it to ANY tuner and he would gladly make the time to do some comparisons. Hell, I've even got a dyno down here in little old Salem, Or. that I'd buy him some time on.

In the mean time I've been tripping over a stroked short block taking up space in my garage...awaiting the skinny on the "new" killer heads. I guess I'm just getting impatient...summer's on it's way, you know. sj

Tony said production issues are holding up the release, so it looks like April or May that the heads will come out.

Some people close to AFR have done flow tests and those look good, but no dyno tests. :skep:
