Default AFR Heads

Hey i was wondering what kind of power you guys think i would gain and what my rwhp and torque might be if i added AFR 185cc heads with crane gold race roller rockers to my setup without a cam swap? Also what cam would you reccomend good power with this setup and still keep daily drivability as i have no other form of transportation? Thanks for the help as i cant wait to get the $$$ to do this swap and am becoming curious as to what results i should expect.

I imagine that would be quite a bit of power (and $). You might wanna do that t5 swap first...

With the 185's itll be a very noticable increase in power, youll find that your intake and carb will be a little small for as much fuel and air that thing is gonna want with those heads. Get at least an Weiand x-celerator intake better yet an edelbrock super victor, and youll need a 650 carb, as for a cam Ibelieve you can run up to .550 lift with those heads, not positive but pretty sure, so for a cam get something along the lines of .550 lift 290/300 duration, that thing will sound mean as hell .

Would the Weiand x-celerator be better intake than the Edelbrock RPM air gap? I dont want to go to a super victor because its still a street car and i want the low end torque of a dual plane intake. would a cam of those specs be very streetable without a whole bunch of lope? its my daily driver so i still kinda have to think about drivibality issues. I wish i could do the manual swap first but i want to wait and do it right with a TKO 600 because the last thing i want to do is break a 5 speed i just put in and i know the T5's dont last long above 400 horsepower.
