205cc LS1 Mongoose Street Aluminum Cylinder Head

The Small Port, High Velocity Torque Monster

AFR 205 LS1 Cylinder HeadFor the ultimate high performance street LS1/LS2/LS6 aluminum cylinder head AFR’s all new 205cc emission legal E/O # D250-4 are your only choice. Specifically designed for 1997 to present Gen-3 Chevy Corvettes, Camaros, and trucks. AFR’s LS1 cylinder head offers unmatched flow performance (298 CFM at .600lift) and features 2.020 intake and 1.600 exhaust valves with AFR’s iron ductile interlocking valve seats. With only 205cc port volume (same as stock LS1 head) this is an incredible 70 CFM increase over stock casting, creating unbelievable port velocity and performance. Our 205cc cylinder head is ideal for normally aspirated 346C.I. to 396C.I. It is available with 66cc combustion chambers. AFR’s LS1 is a direct bolt on, no special parts required (see footnotes here). Structural features like Air Flow Research’s trademark 3/4” thick head deck, a must for blown and nitrous applications, reinforced rocker stud bosses, and thick wall runners provide unparalleled durability. An exclusive new modern combustion chamber design with double quench pad area helps the LS1 generate huge low and mid lift airflow numbers. If you need a snake charmer for that pesky neighborhood “Cobra Mustang” look no further.

Note:

Hydraulic roller cams in "LS" Gen III engines typcially experience valve float at 6600-6800 RPM's. If you are using aftermarket rocker arms valve float will become prominent and AFR highly recommends upgrading to our #8019 spring. If you plan on running over .600 gross valve lift and/or 6600 RPM, AFR suggests you upgrade your springs to AFR part #8019. Our upgrade spring has higher seat and open pressures (155/410+) to better reduce the risk of valve float in more aggressive applications. AFR also recommends the use of Crane or GM Billet lifters in conjunction with our #8019 spring upgrade.
