Which heads to use?
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.

This is what I run on my car. I like to think of it as growing room for a stroker or hair dryer in the future.
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?
