185's here, wish i had gotten Canfields

Canfields cost same as AFR's and flow better.

The stock springs that come on AFR's are useless with any kind
of aggressive cam too. Order Canfields from the right place and they
will come with correct springs already.

i was running 185's on my 306 but i changed to 205's. So if i had a 351 (it would be a 408) id prob get 205's maybe 225's.


(of course the 205's and 225's arent as streetable)

Streetability depends largly on what cam you go with. If I were you I would call Camshaft Innovations and talked to Jay. He is a dealer for Canfield and can set you up a package. He recommended Canfield 195's for my 302 so I dont know what hes going to recommend for you! They were 1,400 too. Call him up or send him anemail and see what he has to say.
