    Trick Flow TW heads Vs AFR's???

    Alright, looking through the gt 40 heads thread I figured this would become a decent conversation and not clutter it up with off topic talk, So??

    Which do you like and why?

    I'm partial to the Canfields myself; 20*, 195 head with .400" raised exhaust ports, 2.06" intake valve, 1.60" exhaust. These things make great power, but fly under the radar, as they do not have the marketing that AFR or Trickflow has.

    Fordstrokers 347 4.030 bore, 3.400 stroke, 5.315 rod, 10.6:1CR
    Canfield 195 heads, Ferrea 6000 valves, Comp springs, Ti retainers, roller rockers, hand bowl blended
    Camshaft Innovations custom billet core hydraulic roller camshaft
    TFS Track Heat, 75mm TB, 90mm MAF, 36lb/hr inj
    TREMEC 3550, billet flywheel, RAM clutch, 4.10 gears

    I have the street heat kit from trick flow. I like it but I'm never happy with the horsepower in my car.

    both good heads.I've been a trick flow man for years but bought a set of AFR 205's for this 347 and they seem to work great

    All depends also in what you are building.If you are gonna get crazy and build a 400+ cube motor I would get ported high ports.OTS shelf high ports aren't very good but you port them and there isn't much that will beat them

    I think that if you are looking at a twisted wedge head OTS or a AFR 185 I'd go 185
    88 GT...and some boost

    Like someone said above it depends what you are building because bigger isn't always better. If you are comparing Trick flow and AFR, you have to compare the twisted wedge that are CNC and the AFR 205's. I think they are so close it probably doesn't matter. I have a OTS twisted wedge non CNC just casted because they didn't have the CNC option yet and the car runs 11 teens on the motor. You could probably say that im happy with them. I would take either one CNC over a casted head any day.

    If you like replacing valve guides, go with AFR, if not, get TW's.
