Isnt it funny how we all take different things out of what we read and are told. First this thread was about AFD, then Edelbrock got dragged in and now CHI.
All I know is that you guys didnt do your homework very well or Lawrence is a very good salesman. But then again Lawrence doesnt have his facts right either, so Im not to sure that Id take his word for gospel.
Your probably thinking what on earth am I talking about. Well you all have said that CHI heads need their own manifold. Did you guys not bother to read their website??? They have 2V heads that fit all 2V manifolds. Its all there on their website. They also have true 4V heads that mate up to 4V factory intakes, AFD doesnt. The AFD "4V" heads are little misleading as they are just like the CHI 3V heads and require an aftermarket intake manifold. I see Lawrence conveniently forgot to elaborate on this but was quick to point out this about CHI . All 3 companies have standard height exhaust ports also, but CHI offer a raised exhaust port. So I dont see how one 2V head is any easier to fit than the other from any of the 3 brands. CHI just seem to have more options that cover a greater range of combinations and this gets a little confusing for sure, especially with the SBF stuff as their are so many different block options. From what Ive read the guys at CHI have more bases covered for us Cleveland guys
There is alot of info out their if you look long enough and dont take the word of one person only. Apparently the new AFD heads are now made in China. I read on another forum where AFD was asked where his heads were made. He answered other questions but side stepped that one...
Seeing as this thread has gone from one brand to another, did you all know that TrickFlow now also have a 2V head they are going to release as well. It sounds really similiar to the CHI head. Same port volume and airflow. I dont remeber where I read it, but it was on display at SEMA I think.
