hmmm that sound slike exactly the same setup i want man. id say if u have the money get some afr-185's, as to the cam i was going to put like an e-303 cam in there but again if u have the spare change get a custonm cam or at least one made for superchargers. Hope that helps u out man. Also I was wondering what kind of car do u have man. Ive got a 92 GT that im making into an LX man.

RHS heads flow better than AFR and cost less than a set of edelbrock's. They also have phosphor bronze exhaust valve guides for superior heat dissipation and manganeze bronze intake guides for longer life. Offered in both aluminum and iron, in 180cc, 200cc, and 215cc runners and your choice of 58cc or 64cc chambers. Check my site for flow rates and more information. E-mail me with any questions, mclark@promustangperformance.com Looking forward to hearing from you

Well personally I would recommend the Crane Cams 224/232 grind. If your gonna spend all that money on pistons, heads, and a blower put a cam thats gonna make some real power and compliment that blower. We've used that cam in more than a few blown engines and it worked great. The added lift and duration on the exhaust side will help the engine breath alot better with the added airflow from the blower and the wide 112 LDA keeps the overlap down which is perfect for a blown efi engine. Its really not that much more radical of a cam as far as duration goes but the added lift over the e-303 will take better advantage of those aftermarket heads. Trust me when I say its a great blower cam and will make more power and torque and work better than the E-303 in every aspect.

As far as the heads go I would say stick with the AFR 185's or some Edelbrock's...Thier proven high quality performers and remember ya get what ya pay for, so Id part with the few extra bucks for the good stuff. Just my .02.

I am with the AFR s and a custom grind, there is no matching a custom grind and they are like what 200 more expensive... when you are buying a 3 G blower whats another 400 bucks to make the setup rock

Agreed. Some 185's would be just right for this setup and its not worth it not to go with a custom cam with a motor/blower like this. You will make alot more horsepower. You should call up CompCams or something like that and just talk to them. Tell them what you are going to have and they will give you their opinion and let you know what the best cam for your setup would be. Cant beat a custom grind.
