It depends on what youre trying to achieve. The 205 will make more power but, the car wont be as streetable as it would with the 185's. Not to mention youll want a bigger cam with the 205's, so that might mean flycutting. Balancing the motor would be very benficial also. So what are your intentions?

185's are way more than enough on a 306ci motor

205's if you plan on 9,000 rpm, which it doesnt sound like.

people use 205's on a 408ci

I run 185s and are awesome on the street and pull awesome. My buddy runs 185s also on his all out drag car 306 that pulls 8000. But he is now building a 347 and going with 205s.

I'd go with 185s.
