AFR 165, 185 or Trickflow

[Rick 91GT]

Trickfrows outperformed AFR in MM&FF's 205 test, by only a few hp but oh well, Im pretty sure I'll go trickflow, with a Performer intake?

The performer is way to small to feed a stroker

Rick - Does the piston -cc come from just the valve relief deepness and size or the flatness or non-flatness of the piston as well?

The advertised cc of a piston takes into account the valve reliefs, however in theory the flatness of the piston could effect it. I will say most of the "good" aftermarket pistons are very flat from what I have found.

If i remeber the article in MM&FF, the AFR 185 and TW 185 flowed almost exactly the same numbers, but the TW started to pull ahead in the higher RPMs
