At the wheels, yeah, close to 300, with a good tune and the right supporting mods it could possibly break 300rwhp.

Only get the AFR 185s if you have aftermarket pistons.

They will fit with stock pistons with a custom camshaft (and some select OTS cams), but why limit your camshaft grind because of the valve radial being to small.

Go with AFR 165s.

That means that the stock reliefs are too small for the 2.02 valve.

or you could get the 185's and intake, leave the cam and save up for a stroker. Then when you do the stroker you can get the cam, and just transfer everything else over to the short block , At least thats how i think. (so you dont have to buy another set of heads when you realize that 165's dont feed a 331/347 very well, depending on if you are going to stroke it in the future that is...........
