I'm thinking about some used AFR 165's with 1.6 crane energizer rockers for sale.

My car has:
Powerdyne blower - 6.5psi
Edelbrock Performer intake
75mmTB
70mm MAF
30lb injectors
never had the valve covers off. 65k mi.
It made 318whp/340wtq on a MD a few weeks ago and I'm wondering:

a) what kind of power can I expect to gain?
b) what % can I expect my fuel economy to drop (hwy & city)?
c) will my stock cam be too streetable to take much advantage of these heads?

Thanks for the input.

id expect near 400rwhp. doubt youll hit 400 but it will be close. maybe if you added a couple psi of boost youd hit it. the get the heads and buy some 1.7 rockers instead for a little more lift.
i run afr 165's with the stock cam. dynoed 403rwhp and plan to see near 500rwhp when i get on the dyno in 2-3 weeks. with the stock cam the car is very streetable and im still emissions legal in california

Good stuff. I'm not expecting 400hp on a MD, on a dynojet maybe.
Good idea about the 1.7's.

They're the 58cc ones so I'm wondring if my cr will go up a ton over stock.

Compression wont go up that much, probably not even half a point. And the alum. heads will dissiapte the heat faster, so it wont make much of a difference..
