AFR's Cylinder Head Manufacturing -- Step 1

AirFlowResearch.com's Chris Paul tells Bob Santoro how AFR sets the world standard for getting the most horsepower from small block and Big Block Chevys and Fords.

Chris discusses the importance of getting a good index on the raw casting and how quality control is maintained at each station.

AFR part naming system is explained along with how a core is made ready for CNC porting.

AFR's are a work of art, I call them my "Man Jewelry". I ran the 210's about 4 years back. Right now I have a brand new pair of 195's that I am going to put on my 383 build up of about 525+ Hp.. Won't have a car for a year or two, but I have every fastener and all parts for the motor new in boxes in my bedroom.

@sbc1320 I agree...their stuff is an absolute work of art. I'm an engineer, and I always knew their heads were the best, but after the tour, I was completely blown away.

I just got a pair of the 235s, and they'll be on my 427 Donovan HC400 small block. I'm torn, through. Sometimes I just sit there staring at them and finger the ports...in total bliss. So, bolting them on means I have to admire them from the outside.

...then again, 700 hp in an 1800-lb car might make up for "the loss";-)
