AFR 185 heads+extrude honed cobraintake+FMS Xcam+ FMS rockers=343 rwhp w/302(120K mi), i had it, and it will cost you about the same if you just shop around for the parts. I sprayed 150 shot on this setup and ran 11.20's with M.T. et 's and a little suspension.I ran a terminator without the juice and hung dead even with him.

185's are a kinda big on an N/A 302, aren't they? Even with the 150 shot.

No those heads sound alright for that combo and a 150 shot. Results show it ran well... he said low 11's...

As for the Systemax Intake, buy it. I remember looking at the lower intake right next to a stock lower intake and nearly **** my pants. The ports are literally two times the size of stock, the runners are very neatly placed, and the opening near the throttle body is like 75mm, whereas the stock is like high 50 or low 60s. I wish I would have taken a picture with mine next to that stocker!!! I have personally done stock, cobra, gt40, trickflow, and systemax intake, and this intake wins it in my book for any street/strip power-adder car.
