. A good example is MJR46's car. IIRC he is running AFR185cc heads, Comp Cams XE282HR, and IDK what intake, on his 347. His car turns low 11 second runs with a gearset that doesn't belong under a N/A car. All through a T5 gearbox, so you know he isn't even banging on it!

Hmm so a Set AFR 185cc heads? Would the 205's be too much? What about a suggestion on Cam? I hear alot about custom cams, but i think id rather go with a pre-made cam due to the fact that i might end up changing a few things here or there as time goes by...

I was actually considering 205's myself and will have to choose a good cam to match. I'm curious what your getting at in case I screw up and get the wrong cam

Well Id definintely rather get the better set of heads which i guess could quiet possibly be the 205's. One of my concerns however would be the compression with those size heads, and cant u actually bog your car with a wrong set of heads that might be too big? i looked into some comp cams, i think i might swing that route. Ill do what i can to keep you posted on how it goes ( i am gonna run the gt40's for about another month or two though )

so sad... If you were smart, you'd search over on corral.net for some used heads. Hey arent always a bad deal. I bought my Canfield 195CC heads off Craigslist for almost HALF the BNIB cost.

okay ill have to check it out. I did a little research on the 185 and the 205 it seems as if the 205 arent exactly street legal... i would like to do my best to keep this car street legal as possible.. are the heads that much of a dead giveaway when it comes to smog?? Would u still suggest that comp cam to along with these heads? Also i was think 24lb injectors... sound fit?
