I want to get these heads
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cg...248520&r=0&t=0
There's a set of Trick Flow 23 degree heads on ebay for sale for 800 bucks with everything on them. Would these be okay, or should I save up for the AFR 190s ? I really want a set of aftermarket heads, because I feel I cant get any faster with my current setup.

92 Z28 5.7
------------------
Ported stock heads, XR270HR-10 cam, TES headers
Crane AFPR, Flowmaster catback, MSD ignition
#24 SVO injectors, 1LE aluminum driveshaft.
Best ET 13.3@107 mph

Everything that I have read about the 23* Trickflows indicate they are an excellent bang for the buck.
Yes, the AFR will flow more but is the extra flow worth it to you? If you had a MiniRam, I would be inclined to go with the AFRs as they can take full advantage of the flow.

Blayd,
I don't have the same cam. Mine is on a 112LSA.

Yes, the LSA isn't as important as the duration and lift, but don't discout it totally, it is critical in figuring how a cam will run in a car. If you haven't read the cam article in the tech section of this site, it explains the way the LSA effects performance.
But I do agree with Glenn, the Trick Flow Heads offer a great bang for the buck. Yes, they aren't as good as the AFRs, but for $800, they sure make your wallet much happier!
