If you believe the various companies' claims and advertising, it would seem that AFR is outflowing everybody else these days, especially their CNC ported versions. Their websight (http://www.airflowresearch.com) has a link to a flow comparison with most of the popular heads. Prices are reasonable, <$2k for the basic package with valves and roller springs, <$3k for the full CNC ported versions. They have several different runner sizes, one of which should match your setup. I haven't tried their big block heads yet, but I did run their small block heads for a while and was very happy with them.

I wanted to buy a set of their 345 runners as cast for $1995.00 but they are on hold due to casting setbacks .They won't be out for another 3-6 Months cry ??? the 357 CNC are ready and they cost $3200.00 and take about a week delivery... :D
oh yea they come with Ferria valves and all good parts but you can upgrade to titanium ret. and such for a minimal $$$$

I have been told that those Dart Pro-1
Are not a good Idea if your Planning on putting alot of boost to the motor, Because the casting are "How do I say Kinda Cheap" There not as thick as lets say the regular old Dart 360
For a Pair of bare Pro filers I think the Price was Around $1700.00
I know The price for the cnc'd fully assembled
ones was around $3.300.00
DID YOU CALL STEVE SCHMIDT?? jawdrop
