So 185's are probably the way to go since I'd have to get my pistons fly cut anyway becuz of my cars year.

RE: Notching Pistons for 185's
88Blue, I'm with you in that I'm probably going to do cam when I do the heads, but am up in the air on what brand/type of cam to go with. I also wasn't sure if I should get stud or pedastal mount rockers, and 1.6's or 1.7's.
Any thoughts?

I have AFR 185s with Crane #2031 - 214/220 @ .050 - .513/.529 and 1.7 rockers
I'm not 100% sure, it's been a while but I think that you need to match the rocker ratio to the cam and the AFR 185 heads have stud mount rockers (I do anyways)

This stuff also confuses me.... so if anyone wants to go into detail about choosing rockers and either studmount or pedestal mount go for it....
BUT PLEASE... if you are posting information make sure that its correct!

Thats a mild cam.... nothing crazy. But if I am right about this which I am not sure I am I have heard that 1.7RR will add about .030 lift so if its .543 than thats kind of aggressive.... if I am wrong PLEASE correct me because I dont want to give out false information and Im trying to learn about this stuff also!
