    AFR's are a pretty well known brand, but there are others.
    I don't think you'll be in the range of 500hp w/ just heads & a cam.
    If you do throw on a cam, make sure it breathes well (headers & intake). Don't have each thing done one at a time. Have the motor out and do it all in one shot. Check out the "Internal & External Engine" Sections of this forum. I'd also recommend doing all forged internals & you'll probably have a taste for nitrous at that point.

    The number of the AFR head (195, 225 etc.) states the airflow in cc's of that particular head. Higher airflow means more power if you add suitable components to complement the heads capabilities (i.e, bigger cam with more duration and a better exhaust system). Also, the stock rotating assembly is somewhat RPM limited due to the rods and pistons. As has been stated above forged components will win out every time especially if you go FI or N2O.

    the AFR heads are a good buy for what they do. here's a dyno test that vinci did. completely stock 2003 corvette only swapped te heads. stock tune. picked up 37 rwhp. i haven't seen any other head manufacturer try this type of test.
