How good are these? Would I be better off with some AFR 180's? I'm gonna run a 215/218 cam and can't decide on a 350 or maybe a 383 (got torque? )

85z28guy - Your heads have some outstanding flow on the intake side. Your exhaust side needs some help though. Did they backcut or radius the exhaust valves?

Your should either be running a cam with much more duration on the exhaust 10-12 degrees or have more port work done on your exhaust side.

IMO, the Trick Flows are some of the better ones out there, especially if you don't want to drop the cash for AFR's.

<--- has Trick Flows.
