AFR MOPAR 340 HEAD TEST!

To me there's three basic classes of hotrod engine.

1. The budget cruiser. Built for cruising and max smiles/dollar invested. Could also be more of a daily driver deal. This would use those factory heads. They're cheap a domain reliable. No way I'd port them beyond the most basic touch-up of the short side area to remove the casting flash and random boogers.

2. The hotrod. This would use aluminum heads like AFR or Edelbrock. Stock or stroker. Has a host of other supporting upgrades intake hotter can exhaust etc. Still budget oriented but wanting a bit more output. Sub 500 horse small block. I'd never-consider factory iron heads for this.

3. The race car/street strip deal. Uses ported max effort heads like w series stuff or maybe bloomers.

I'm glad holdener did a test. I still don't understand why the hell AFR didn't do any real improvement to the ports over Edelbrock.
