Default deciding between AFR 165's and GT40
trying to decide if i should get AFR 165Cc 58Cc or GT40X 58Cc. I know the AFR outflow the GT40Xs, but will the GT40X's have a better powerband for street driving. Also, im gonna throw in the comp cam below with 1.6rr's.

Comp 266HR
266/270 advertised duration 210/215 duration @ .050" .533/.533 lift 114* lobe seperation angle 1200-5200 RPM operating range
