However (isnt there always one of these??) AFD were just so helpful, gave me lots of build info, suggested specs for my application, and were very open to communicate with, and no heavy sales pitch. CHI were friendy but the info was very minimal, and I got the feeling I was being 'sold to' more than advised. CHI seem to offer a head for many engines, whilst AFD are cleveland/clevor only, so the choice is small 351C specialist thats really helpful or bigger commercial company that (appears) less helpful?

Just my take on it and would be interested to hear what people who have bought AFD's or CHI's have found when theyve run their 351C's.

Have fun and heres to a happy 2009!!!

Steve-still dreaming of a better 351C for my car!!
I'll have to second that .. I spoke with a couple other companies that had stroker kits out, and I'll have to say I probably had too many questions, but I only have one shot at doing this build ... Lawrence answered my questions and then some...on the AFD heads and stroker kits.. others answered some questions but then wouldn't return my calls or email. I felt on my own with the CHI setup and already having the track boss kinda closed the deal.... maybe the CHI guys expect their market to be more educated .. don't know. But, AFD was the right decision for me.
maybe in another month ill have some dyno numbers...
