trick flow vs AFR
Anyone tried both TFs and AFRs?
am looking at an AFR 190 vs TF G2s
seems that TFs are 20% less than AFRs and make similar flow numbers.

Re: trick flow vs AFR
305 has wrong bore size.
if I was keeping the 305 (which I have done before on previous cars) the lesson I have learned is don't do heads, put money to a Procharger instead. Make sure the air flow in and out is excellent and make sure you have a decent cam.
There are 6,876,213 posts telling you the 305 is the wrong motor to build. do a 350 instead. Guess I am number 6,876,214...

Re: trick flow vs AFR
If your stuck on a 305, trick flow does make a specific 305 head, were as the AFR's are for 350's and up, the valves are too big on the AFR's for a 305 with the lift of a zz4 cam. AFR used to make a 305 head, but its been long discontinued

Re: trick flow vs AFR
NFS, sorry, not sure what I'll use them on, but no sence loosing $ on them when they are still a good head
They ran 12's N/A bolted on a 406ci in a Monty Carlo with a Magnum 292 cam, so as I said, not bad heads by any means, I just find/like the AFR's much better
