You can buy bare heads for $1550.

Even if they were a couple hundred dollars more than the AFD's, the flow numbers would be worth it. The AFD heads will not touch the CHI heads in low, mid, and high lift numbers. The CHI 3V port is the key....lots of flow with a small port volume. The AFD 4V heads might come close in high lift, but there again, you're comparing 235cc heads to 208-225cc heads.
you are correct on the cost for complete solid lift setup... I have a roller setup.. I also posted the part number for the price and the comparison I made was a 205cc AFD to a 208cc 3v CHI.

this thread is funny... from the original question... which the original question was..

I guess I should have just said no since I don't have a Cleveland... and not try to reply as to why I purchased the AFD heads. lol ... not saying my decision was for the best flow vs cost ratio ... but how I ended up with the AFD heads, my intended use etc etc.

anyway hopefully souzape was able to gather some info from this thread.

blykins, do you own a set of AFD or CHI heads on a Cleveland or Windsor block? what has been your experience with either head? maybe we can start a new thread and show what the pro's and cons from others experience has been.
