Why only AFR's? If I had to pick just between the 185's and 205's I would go with the 205's.... but you can get heads that will perform the same if not better for less cash.

Ok I lied. I would go with Canfields 192 head.... it flows a little less than the 205 and its about 400-500 dollars cheaper. Plus those heads might work a little better for street use.

Not sure.... thats something you would have to call Canfield about. And you shouldnt be using those headers anyway. You should definetly step up toa 1 3/4 without a doubt. Get the canfields and with the money that you are saving from not buying the AFR's get yourself a nice set of 1 3/4 longtubes.
