as stated in the title what would be the best for me. Im thinking about AFR 185's with the valve spring upgrade and a TFS track heat intake. The cam i have is a Comp Cams XE274HR DURATION @ .050 224/232 and LIFT 555/565 LSA 112

thanks guys!

You willd probably have to do machine work with the 185's id go 165's, id ask rick or something for the best intake to go with the heads.

I don't think I'd design a build around a camshaft, You normally design your build around the purpose i.e. Street, Street/Strip, Dragstrip, Road Race. IMO that cam sounds to me a bit wild for street driving, and will probably need a good custom tune. I just bought a set of GT40X 303's got em for $989/pair new, they flow nice, and drop weight from the car, I paired it with the TFS stage 1 camshaft, and a cobra intake. My car's purpose is street/strip and may differ from what you want. -Matt
