I got the GT40 P's and I'm not to satisfied with them, I also got CAI headers, X-pipe, mufflers underdrive pulleys to go with the heads and it doesn seem to fast. If I were you I would try to go to a agent for a cell phone company and get a job there, you can make a lot especially after about 6 months of experience you can go to a corporate store for some company and make a lot more. But yeah get the AFR i HEARD a lot of good things about them, so in the long run it might be better to just save. Also if you do do the NOS make sure your engine can hold it I heard that the nitrous makes your pistons expand, I'm sure some one here will either correct that or back it up so you know for sure. but yeah AFR

If you on a budget the gt40s will work fine. But the question is how fast do you wanna go? If you plan on running low 11s and high 10s get the AFRs.

ive seen stock untouched e7s go 11s. GTP heads are decent you need the right combo. 202/160 valves are to large for a basic stock motor that doesnt have increase in CI. actually 302s like small exhaust valves. you dont need the 185s til you start getting up there in CI. everyone praises AFR heads but you can do so much for so less. if AFRs were the best then everyone would have them...think about it...but you got ppl running very low times with nothing. do some research and see how many ppl are going good times with E7s or GTp heads. hell even other Gt40 heads......some ppl like to just go out and buy **** and not match their combos

Actually this is the down fall to the 302... This is one of the first things recommended to correct... No engine likes small exhaust valves... But yes in cases i have seen some people do some crazy things with mild combos on 302s they are amazing engines..
