I think that if it were mine I'd go up just one size on the intake.
Reason for this is I can 'grow' the motor a little and get even more out of it.......

the only reason im goin with that size is the dyno results show the torque comin on sooner than with 165 even though the 185 makes more power. But this is only a street car and torque is everything for me. The 185 makes most its power around 5-6k rpm I personally don't like spinning my car that high. If im not mistaken I get to keep my ford racing 1.6 pedestal mount roller rockers with them too.

What type of power gains should I expect with having my typhoon upper and lower, bbk shorties, new 24lb injectors, and going from 10 degrees timing to 14degrees???

Fox Lake has done some nice work in the past, I have a set of Trick-Flow twisted that they did a program on.
From what I saw on that link, I'd have to be a little skeptical about 303cfm @.600 lift with only a 200cc port.
If you really are after a big flow number get Vic.Jr. heads and have them run a program on them.
Those start out at 215cc and go nearly 300cfm @.600 unported right out of the boxes.....

NEVER, EVER put a time line on how long something is going to take to install.
You need accuracy, not speed........

Hahaha thanks, if I was going for speed it would be up and running in a few hours not days. Broke everything down last night so now its just a waiting game. Shoot, the worst part is fighting with the header studs were they connect to the down tubes.

I know a couple guys with pro-comps on 347 motors, do they work? Yes, but there's way better out there. For best results on these heads the ports should be matched (ported) since there will most likely be different intake/exhaust flows for each cylinder and all of the valvetrain should be from another company, by this point you're better off going AFR or TF.
