Re: Driving impressions with the AFR heads

OK Joe,

Buy your RHS and I will provide the 195 for the testing...Im not even kidding.

Im doing my best to show you the value here and I hope you can appreciate that. I dont think your badmouthing our product....Im just frustrated I cant seem to get thru.

If you did the swap, I think the difference could be greater than 35 HP in my opinion, but even if it were not, the gains past peak compared to your RHS build would be 55 - 60 HP. What is that worth?

BUT....even at 35 HP peak, just for one last fun exercise with the numbers, the additional money spent for the AFR's($600) breaks down to costing you only $17 per pony (thats like foreclosure prices on horsepower).

Once your at this level (a good heads cam car with headers, cold air intake, etc,) please show me where your money can be better placed to pick up those 35 ponies you just left under the table at $17 a piece.

Im serious....show me where you go next to find that type of power and how much will it cost you??

If you picked up a total of 35 HP from the RHS swap (a stretch with a $900 as cast head), you paid $40 plus per pony for the first 35.....why would you leave double that figure under the table for less than half the price of the first admission.....that's penny wise and dollar foolish.

V-A-L-U-E.....you have to look at the bigger picture to grasp it and the fact real racers or anyone hooked on the horsepower bug always look for more....its just a matter of time. When you do, you will kick yourself in the azzz for leaving what you did (at the price you did) by not purchasing the better heads.

GUYS....AM I MAKING ANY SENSE??

My work here is done....Josh, bring us some good news will you!....LOL

Cheers,
Tony
