youll probably want a big set..lol. afr 205 or edelbrock victor jrs. are both very sweet..

yeah but the afrs 205 are around 1500 .... and i saw another brand with 290s and 305s for much less.. i dont get it[] is it ilegal when it hit surtn number?

basically the more flow the better.

but if you notice the AFR's list about the same size cc chambers
but flow much better.

AFR 185's for street and 205's for non-street

cost is about the same cause their overhead
to make the different heads really doesnt change
that much until you get into crazy racing heads.

so with 185s i pass the inspection... if i go bigger i gotto greace somebodys hand right? is there a big difference in hp?

ikeybmg

the 185's are excellent heads. i like edelbrock too!

r.barn

205's are more for race applications.

also remember to be careful with valve clearance.
big heads sometimes need pistons with cut outs
for the huge valves.

pretty hard to skate around emmissions inspections
now that they are all computerized and getting hard core
with implementing them.

Hell, in Texas they put your car up on a mini-dyno
to make sure they are testing emmissions with
engine under a load like its really driving down the road.

good point..so for a weekly driver with huge amounts of horses 185 its okay?

r.barn

185's plenty

also, check out Twisted Wedge heads, bit cheaper
but supposed to be just as good.

AFR's pretty much considered the cream of the crop
but you pay a bit more for em.
