Craigs list P heads are few and far between. The crazy thing is that they are $400 untouched and they sell same day. I will find a cheap set some day just going to wait

A couple years ago, I couldn't sell a set of GT40P's at all. I ended up dropping the price down to $40 before someone scooped them up.
Now they are $400 heads? Damn I wish I kept them now.
Allied motor parts rebuilds Gt40p heads. Fully rebuilt with a $100 core that I wont be able to get back. $600.00 all together
Personally, I'd look for the earlier 3 bar castings just to eliminate any problems with spark plugs and header clearance. I've heard there are workarounds, but that's just what I'd do.
Pisses me off that I actually had a set of 3 bar heads from that 84 vert I used to have. Even had the Trick Flow spring kit set up and they were ready to go. For some reason that I don't recall now, I had them on the tail gate of my truck and forgot about them over night. Went to leave the next morning, still forgetting about them until I got to work. I had a patient to take care of right away, then afterward left and backtracked my route. They were no where to be found.....
So THAT'S why I'll be in the market for a set of heads. Otherwise I'd have everything for my vert to go ahead and tear into it.

We'll see what happens if and/or when I actually buy them and mock the engine. It'll be some time before that happens so a lot can change as far as plans go. But if need be, the years I spent as a toolmaker before changing careers after the economy tanked in '08 gave me plenty of practice with a grinder. But I'd probably opt for a notching tool just for the simple facts that it's easier, faster, and more easily repeatable. Honestly, it makes me miss having a full shop at my disposal vs the limited tool selection I have at home. If money were no object...... 
Cheap because someone already did the heavy-lifting of engineering and testing. All you have to do is copy that work and source it to a certain place, and bam! Cheaper by a lot.
That's got to stop.
Has anyone seen any dyno results or engine dyno results for the AFR enforcer as cast heads? I know there was a thread on them here a while back but I don't recall anyone buying them. $1080/pair for assembled 185cc heads. And have the AFR name behind them. Was considering them instead of a pair of TFS TW170 heads, but would love to hear about any experiences before pulling the trigger. Not a ton more than what the SVE heads were selling for when they were available.
