Thanks, I was wondering about that as well, but wasnt sure if going with the track heat would take too much off the bottom end or not.

It will take some off the bottom end, but the gains up top will be a lot more than what you lose down low.

I would recomend AFR 185's. They will work fine on a stock bottom end without causing PTV clearance issues. The heads might be a little big for your mods listed, but it will give you plenty of room for future growth.

I agree with Todd if you know what your future items will be and they require more airflow, go with the 185's.

If that is going to be it for a long while (3-4 years) then stick with the 165's. Hell you can get most of your money back with used AFR heads if you went with the 165's and decided to build a higher hp engine way down the road.

I doubt I would max out the 165's any time in the near future. After I get the heads and intake, Im gonna start working on getting either the trans or bottom end anyways, so it will be while down the road before I get radicall enough to really need the 185's.

Will the 185's not cost me more of my power down low as compared to the 165's. I havent ordered either set as of yet and thier really isnt too muc`h of a price difference between the two.

I was thinking that the 185's were a couple hundred more than the 165's.

Not from DSS. THe 165's are 1275.95 and the 185's are 1295.95

No. On ebay there is only about $20 difference between the 165's and 185's

So would the 185's hurt my performance for the time being? I know that one guy Jase always talks about at blakes supposedly had the highest n/a 302 dyno running 185's. I just dont want to kill my performance down low too much until power adder time.
