Wonder when these will actually hit the streets

Any chance the locks would be going on chev stuff? It'd be hard to till.

No. These were built specific for the head and install height. 11/32" Radial bead 10 degree with lash cap recess.

There ready & flow chart is @ bottom of page.

Here's an early article about them back in 2014 for anyone interested. Came across it by accident on a search about something else.

Still waiting to see a set running.... Plenty of hype and promises....

I spoke to Rick at AFR yesterday. They have 42 sets in process. Should not be long now.

Have they bothered to dyno and track test them or are they racing and selling the flow bench?

What they should do is send out a couple of pairs to some of the well known engine builders on here and let them do a real world evaluation and what their potential may be. I'm pretty sure that some of the guys we all know and love on here could improve on what they have done. They have certainly done it in the past with other heads

Who would the board suggest and I will run it by Rick.

My two suggestions....

How about Phillip Oakley..... His son has a nice new dragster to get some real number from and he owns a dyno..... Dyno and track tested to prove they are worth a shit.

Or perhaps Blake The snake.... He will flog the shit out of them on demand and report the facts. And he likes to dyno stuff and has done plenty of the competitor heads

X2 that.

AFR thought this was a good idea. I left a message at Mr. Oakley's shop.

thank you!!!!!

for these kind of prices ill just run a c head and have money left over. 8200.00 for a complete set with pro stock port and matching port work on the intake...

they are not that much money, they are like 2100.-2700. depending how you want them

I think the site that was advertized on was a mistake. I have seen the prices be more inline with what Butter bean posted.

Prices range from $1800 bare to $3100 for a CNC set complete.

This is what I have seen.

Standard or OEM valve locations or are they like the SCJ/P51?

I think they have their own unique valve layout.

I don't remember where I read it but I think they require a dedicated piston.
