I am purchasing a 94 5.0 Gt and I am going with AFR's (I heard they are the best). Do you suggest 165's or 185's?.And also I what cam would yousuggest?Im not going to supercharge.Car has 3.73's and exhaust. Engine is being pulled and almost totally redone. I don't want any thing too crazy but I want to be in the upper 300'soreven lower 400'shp wise.Thank's for any suggestions

 

I believe the 185s are not street legal....are you tryin to keep it legal??

...and lower 400HP is a difficult task without power adders (i.e. S/C, Nitrous, etc...)

 

I want street legal

 

well I guess I'll be more like in the upper 3's (I think(hope)).

 

so 165's it is

 

whos gonna know?

 

Is that upper 3's at the crank or the wheels?

 

wrong. just like the 165's they make a race only head and a street head. but with ur application 165's would be just fine. look into comp cams, stuff they have some of the best out there, or go custom. 400 bhp is gonna not be easy wit a 5.0 but a trick flow 1 cam and some 1.7 rr along wit a nice intake, holley or eddy, and 400 bhp wont be too far off. good luck

185's do come in street legal form with the EGR passages.
so you can get them in Street Legal form

get 185's and a custom cam for them, plan on having ot upgrade the springs though
factory AFR springs are a bit weak

 

I had AFR165's on my 91 with a little E-cam it made 337rwhp & 351rwtq after it had been tuned.
