why afr 185's? why not 165's? they would work better with a smaller combo like yours. and like everyone said ditch the f cam, go with some thing from comp or crane. dimebag has a nice cam, its in his other thread.

don't worry your 185's will be fine!!!! it's the 165's that I'd be choking over!!! you can always upgrade other parts to complement the 185's but the 165's will only get you so far....like 306 max!! 185's will work on a 347.....I'll know soon enough how well but I'd get a better cam I used an 11 to 1 306 with afr 185's and a xe 282 hr comp cam to run 12.20's...but get a decent tune...that'll help out too!!!

185s are fine for a 302-306. i'd never even think bout the 165's. 185s with a proper cam, intake will make 300rwhp + easy
