AFR 165 Question?!?!?!?!

[milehighstang]

I have a 94 gt with the following mods. trickflow track heat intake with 3/8 spacer, 75tb, cai, full length headers and supporting exhaust, and 3.90 gears. My question is the afr website says that the 165cc heads require no special parts so will i need special length pushrods or will the stock length but hardened ones work? I plan on sticking with the stock cam or maybe a steeda 19. What is all the other supporting hardware i will need? and will i be able to stick with the stock 19lb injectors with the heads and other mods until i stick a blower on it? Any advice would be greatly appreciated

I used my stock length pushrods, others may have diffrent results though. I also used the crane 2031 cam.

It's always a good idea to at least check pushrod length to make sure you have the right ones, but the stock length ones will probably be good enough.

The stock cam would waste much of what the AFR's are all about -- even with the Steeda 19 you give up a lot just to keep the EEC happy. There are enough benefits to a good tune that I would pick the cam you want based on performance and perhaps DEQ requirements, and plan on getting a good tune. It's worth it.

The 19# injectors aren't really going to be enough ... unless you keep the stock cam like you're talking about .

Rootus hit the nail on the head.

Why buy a $1,300 cylinder head and NOT make power with it?

You will make power with it...but not as much. You will retain nice street manners and vacuum though with a stock cam if you go that route.
