Thats for a pair and maybe. Depends on valve events, and why a 72 chamber? use the 58

most likely with the 185's youll have to notch but it also depends on the cam characteristics, and a custom cam could possibly keep u from having to notch its just that custom cams are 300-400 bucks or notching pistons will also cost u a few bucks

not to start anything have u thought about twisted wedge heads u can run any off the shelf cam with a lift to around .540 without notching the stock pistons....

Woodsy already did..you just fail to comprehend it..........as for the e-cam and twisted wedge you won't have to notch cause they are canted valved heads..as for afr's all depends on cam timind and cam choosed as woodsy stated
