I've done up quite a few sets of them.Is anyone using the AFR Enforcer heads? I was looking at rebuilding some GT40 3 bar heads but the price of the enforcers have got me thinking. I understand they are off shore castings with the renegade valve train but being AFR wouldn’t the quality be good? I have seen several write ups but no first hand experience. Thanks in advance.
Any examples of what kind of numbers are people getting out of these?Casting is very nice and they respond well to some bowl work and minor porting
I've been wondering this myself... I'd love to know the answer. You'd think the off shore manufacturers would clone something a bit better. The Dart Pro 1 knock-off castings that I bought a while back flow like pop, my older, worked over E7s flow better!On a side note, I wonder why the Dart Pro 1 was chosen to be the head to clone by the off shore manufacturers.
Then you bought the GT40 copies, not the DART...I've been wondering this myself... I'd love to know the answer. You'd think the off shore manufacturers would clone something a bit better.

I know, if I had something that could use a 220, I wouldn't be skimping on heads. Was more interested in how much the 185 picked up with bowl work.You/re not going to get 220 flow numbers from a Enforcer.
You're buying price, not power.
I guess the question is what would be a better head to copy?I've been wondering this myself... I'd love to know the answer. You'd think the off shore manufacturers would clone something a bit better.

I know, I did an AFR 165, and an Edelbrock Performer, both with 2.02 valves, and both just broke 290 on a tight bench, so close but so far.They'd probably be relatively easy to get into the 290 cfm ballpark. The major limiting factor beyond that is most likely valve size. Getting over 300 real cfm out of a 2.02 valve SBF head isn't easy. Ask me how I know.

Agree. There are companies making some of the most reliable high-tech products in Asia. They demand quality control and won't pay for defective or unreliable parts. They'll move on from a vendor in a heartbeat if they can't perform. It's not like there aren't other similar companies who'd be more than happy to eat their lunch. Other industries either only care about cost or possibly don't have the resources or motivation to deal with the time and language differences. Many take what they can get and do the final machining and quality control here. When things go wrong, they lay blame - China is an easy target. You can get perfectly good junk parts made in the USA too, but they cost too much. Easy decision.Americans primary characteristic is hypocrisy.
