Yea...I hear ya.....I know some guys here running the AFR's and they are really pleased with them.....but they are not running the as cast head either. You are not the first one to tell me that I should go Brodix....in fact, several sources have brought it up.
What is the difference between the BB2X and the BB3extra? Those are the two I hear about the most....just haven't really researched it yet. I guess what I will end up doing is finding the best head I can for what I want to do....my goal is still to have an off the shelf head, unported and pump gas compatible. I don't care if it drinks 5 gallons a mile.....it needs to be barely streetable on pump gas.
Also, an update......the 496 short block should be ready in about a month. It is now being machined, checked and will assemble immediately after. It is using the SRP 212157 dome piston. About 10.6:1 with a 112cc head. Stay tuned...more to come on project 496.
