Default Who's using AFR 210cc heads?

Please comment on their performance, streetability, etc. Also list your combination of cam, intake, etc. I'm going to make a decision to purchase on Monday and need advice!

Thanks in advance!!

I run the AFR210CP heads. My combo is way different due to the FI vs carb issue. The heads are actually more like 215 cc intake runners due to the CP vs the normal RR heads. They flow well, and work good with my combo. I will not list all the details due to the obvious difference, but the main components are a 408 (4.00" stroke x 4.030" bore), cam is a very large solid roller (had CC springs installed by AFR - upgrade), 9.5:1 static cr, Mini Ram, and blower. Car runs well. Have not tested the limits, as I am still doing some tuning. They do require some work (headers are higher, vc are higher, slight machine work to allow late model vc to bolt on, various machining on the rough casting as provided) to install on a late model motor. Also, highly recommend shaft rockers, if you are not attempting to retain late model center bolt covers like I managed to do.

Best of Luck,
Aaron

Oh, I forgot, even if the valve geometry was perfect, new pushrods required. The heads have a 1/2" thicker deck.

Thanks for the reply AKS!

Any header clearance troubles with the angle plugs?

I had no problems with spark plug clearance. But these were for L98 angle heads, not either straight or traditional angle plug heads. I utilize TPIS long tube 1-3/4" headers.

Best of Luck,
Aaron
