get the a head cam intake combo that will respond well to boost and build the motor like that first. do it all at once! it would be a pain to keep taking the motor apart to install them separately.

u were asking about the gt40x heads. look at my sig

the 185's arent emissions legal. they also have 2.02" intake valves which will require you to get your pistons fly cut depending on your cam selection. and they wont necessarily make more power on an n/a 302 but boosted, they would have an advantage
