I know that they had CNC ported GT40's back in the day, but what are they using on their new crate motors? They say it's a 185cc CNC ported aluminum head. I thought they were AFR's, but I could be wrong, and if the Roush 200 iron is so good, why aren't they using that?

My gut feeling is that the World Roush heads are just a bit better than the World windsor heads that they are replacing, which is to say that they are a decent head, but not the greatest. I think that Roush may have worked a deal with AFR to re-brand their heads Roush, like they did with the Steeda TriAx shifter. I have never asked, but I bet it would be pretty hard to get Roush to CNC a set of GT40's. I guess I'll put that on my list of questions to ask when I do contact them.

What ever it is, I think I might go another way. Those TEA 185's look killer, and I think I have found a rocker setup that will give me good high rpm stability and possibly fit under the intake.

I'll let you know how it works out.
