TFS aluminum 195 CC heads, P/N TFS-30400006-CNC. The heads have bee hive springs, 10 degree locks, and titanium retainers. The heads have been lightly ported and decked by Lloyd Elliot. Total retail for the heads with port work and upgraded springs is $2000.

AFR aluminum 195 CC heads competition ports, P/N AFR-1095. Nothing has been done to the heads, they will be bolted on as they come from AFR. Total retail for these heads is $2016.
Hi Josh,
Thanks for the cliff notes version.
I truly appreciate you doing this test, so don't take what I'm saying the wrong way.
I wouldn't spend $2000 on ported TFS heads, or AFR heads. I'm looking at $1500 AFR heads (that can be had a little cheaper), vs $1100 TFS heads. That is not the comparison you did so it's kinda hard for me to use the data.
I guess what you were doing was, seeing which was better on a $2000 budget? If so, I'd probably agree with Tony the comp port AFR's.
