Well, that long and informative "thumper heads" thread got me interested in dyno graphs again, and how they relate to fun on the street. If anyone could kindly post the dyno graph to their AFR 165 combo or their trickflow street heat h/c/i, Id like to compare the two and look for some of the traits Grady was talking about.
I have decided on going aluminum heads for my combo as opposed to iron heads, but Im wondering if its worth stepping up to an expensive afr 165/fti/edelbrock combo or opting for the cheaper trickflow h/c/i. To my understanding... the afr setup is very optimized and refined for a streetable 302 (smaller valves, higher velocity), whereas the trickflow setup makes respectable power with more room for expansion (larger valves, more portability). I think Id be happy with either, but Im curious what the graphs look like.. maybe it will aid the decision to have some hard data
