If you are going to get some nice AFR heads I would go ahead and pay another 150 dollars or so and get a custom cam...I guarantee you won't regret it...

Yea I agree, You would make more power with a set of twisted wedge heads for 1,000 and use the 300 you saved for a nice custom cam. And as far as what heads to get, it all depends if you have enough piston to valve clearance to use the 185's and if you are going to run a goood enough cam and rev it high enough to take advantage of the 185's larger intake runners.

Yeah man, the B cam is far too small for AFR heads, they flow more than the cam will let 'em. at least use an x cam. A cam with 264 to 274 druation will like the 165's and you'd need like a 282 duration for the 185's. I wouldn't go with the 185's unless you aren't concerned with torque as much as horsepower.

185's are way overkill unless you have like 12# of boost, 165 for sure.

he didnt say the cam costs 150, he meant an additional 150 on top of the cost of the b-cam. At least thats what i think he meant to say

Your right, the bigger vavles in the 185s won't clear the stock pistons. You'd have to flycut them. That's one thing that turned me off to 185's i don't wanna have to flycut my pistons so i'm just going with the 165s.
