ok i decided my choices were the afr 165 or the trick flow top end package. I compared the two heads and it turns out the twisted wedge actually flow more than the 165's, and the intake and exhaust valves are the same size. So im almost certain i will be goin with the TF package. I should be ordering in the next couple weeks. I will let you guys know how it runs.
that is false.

I think The TWs flow better at lower lift, but the AFRs have smaller valves.

Trickflow Twisted Wedge Heads... or if your stuck on 185 vs. 165 get the 165's you can always upgrade down the road and sell the 165's.

You bet, might want to put a more s/c oriented head gasket on than what
comes with the Trickflow kit though.

AFR FOR THE WIN!!! GO BIG OR GO HOME! I got 185's on a 306. Bought it that way and it did have a bigger cam in it at one time so im sure the pistons are cut. Get the 185's and when you get the windsor, you will blow away the TW heads.
