Price depends on what u get done to them and what ones u get. I ordered mine directly from AFR, delt with a fellow named Dave, customed them to my particular setup and they took 4 weeks to get here.I think they are worth every penny. With my "bone stock" TPI, mild XE256h cam, running only 9:1 compression (set for a charger) my best run is 13.5 and my best MPH is 104.6.

my best 60' was 1.9 but I started fishtailing 3/4 way down the track so I had to let off and ran a 14 flat at 97mph.

The 13.9 I did at 104.62mph was with a 2.289 spinning 60' and my 13.5 at 100.86 mph was with a 2.016 spinning 60', Street tires

It depends on what u get done to them. But u can expect the bill to be into the $2 grand area heading towards the $3 with shipping/duty.

Still worth everypenny. I'd be running 12's easy with Traction, cam, Intake and runners, and thats even with my LOW compression. With the charger I am hoping for 11's, but we shall see, I am still learning this charger business so it might take me abit to get it set up right.

I have the AFR 210cc heads. The CNC'ing looks great on them.

BE PREPARED TO WAIT

Email me bottlefed@rogers.com and i will get you very good price for them. Much cheaper than anyone around here.

TRIGGER......if he couldnt do better than getting them directly from AFR themselves, then i wouldn't of replied

I can get the AFR 195's for ~1200USD + shipping & duty etc.....

So to break it down, shipping here would be ~ 80US

1280 lets say, converted @ 1.4 = $1792.

I emailed Agostino Racind before i bought mine & had my contact, and they wanted 2295 + tax. And just imagine, they must get an amazing discount since they've been around for a while!

Hawk92, what did you have to specify when you bought the heads(ie:egr, center bolt vc's ect)?? Sorry to be a pain, but I want to keep it emmissions legal, and I want them to bolt rite up!

When I talked to Dave at AFR, I told him what I was running (TPI) and planning on changing in the future, that i wanted it with EGR too be 100% emission compliant and he set it right up. He had all the sensor holes drilled and tap'd for me and converted the heads to bolt to the center bolt intake but run the old school non-center bolt valve cover's because I wanted the AFR alum covers. He will want to know what system (carb, TPI, TBI, Ect) plus your cam spec's and what size of headers u will be running so he can match up the head's.
Here's a pic, excuse the old yellow wires all over the place, its got some nice red taylors with proper looms now


My car is 100% emissions legal, passed with flying colours.

Np, hope yours work as good as mine

The only advantage I found with going AFR direct was that they are not just a set of heads off the shelf, they're customed right to your set up.

You must of got them a while ago then, AFR has been going crazy trying to keep up with demand.

Mine were not really your standard head anyhow, different exhaust port locations, some other work done to them. Still though, 9 weeks!!!!
