Default New Heads

So i bit the bullet and bought some afr 185's on ebay. good deal for 1100 brand new. Im gonna purchase an airgap intake and probably switch to a 650 demon carb, no clue which one. Will my 600 edelbrock be ok for a lil while? i think 750 will be to big with my motor. now i need to start looking at a cam to match up with the whole setup. any suggestions?

Congratulations! Damn, I have a brand damn new air gap I need to return to Schucks( if they'll let me, it's been since Sept). Too bad you didn't live closer, I'd sell it to your for $199.00

i'd say a 600cfm carb should be ok, i woul;dn't upgrade without knowing how that runs ...
keep it and see how it goes I'd say

you dont have to have rollers but its nice to have them, since most of the afr heads use studs to mount the rocker you will at least need some for non rail heads, your factory rockers might work if they are non rail. you can pick up a decent set of rollers for about150$
