Hey,
I was looking at buying a set of AFR's 195 Heads... Here's my setup as of right now:
-74' 4-bolt 350 (bored 0.030 over)
-Keith Black pistons (normal compression)
Basically a stock bottom end other than the oversized pistons.
-Edelbrock Performer Intake
-Blue Racer Camshaft (224 at 0.050)
-670 Holley Street Avenger Carb
-HEI w/ Accel Supercoil
-14" 1 3/4" Element Air Clean (think its killin' me)
I think i've got a good setup but i'm still not happy with the performance its putting out. The heads I have are stock 1974 heads. Not the double hump or nothing, just plain stock. Would adding the AFR heads give me a big hp increase and noticable acceleration or should I save the 1000 and try something else?!?!
Get the AFR heads,you will not be upset.You will see a big difference over your current heads and combo.Also get a taller air filter to gain airflow,but you already know that.What is normal compression ratio?try to keep it around 10:1 for good streetability on pump gas.

They put AFR's on a TBI 350 truck w/ 1.6 rockers and got 55HP and 58 ft/lbs of torque at the tires. I think that says good things about their product. Plus, I am a proud owner of a set of fully ported 195's.
