Which heads to use?

blue90lx · 01-17-2009, 10:11 AM

I know i'm going with the AFR'S. Just wondering if i should get the 165s or 185s. Have a buddy who has the 185s and the car runs great and it's a stock 302. But i was wondering what you all would go with if it was your car?

Also my mods are in my sign. Just a stock 302 with bolt ons.

The 165s are probably more ideal for a street car and will make plenty of power.

The 58cc will give it a little more compression right? And i plan on spraying the car 150 shot or so. What kinda #'s do you think it will put to the tire?

I made 341 with 185s n/a and have two kits on it too
