AFR with steel retainers and assembled are $ 1485.00 as per their website.
Difference in price is $ 24.40 (for another 25 or so HP, thats an incredible deal in my opinion !!)
You could probably find both for a little cheaper from a dealer/ebay or wherever, but not sure.
not really. Don't go by list price, go by what you can really pay for them. Again, I paid $1400 with $200 of factory touch up in there. My suspicion is a couple hundred bucks in touch up porting, that 25 hp goes away.
What do you mean not really ? Do you need me to link the pricelists of these manufacturers ? Its easy, go to their websites !! btw, I can get the heads a little cheaper than advertised too......so what ??
The point is, these two cylinder heads are the same price..... end of story.
Street price (the price I would pay) and list price (advertised price) is two different things.
Ever pay sticker for a new car?
I paid $12xx for my AFR's street ports, and guess what they didnt need any porting. John can you believe that concept!
It's been about a year now, and you have spent probably over 200-300 hrs at a minimum talking about the great cylinder head debut. Does it hurt that you have been wrong the entire time? The funny thing is that you are the one who has been the victim of marketing. Wetflow doesn't mean chit!!
