I think that Cobra intake is too small for those 185's, your engine is gonna run out of breath

AFR 185's are good for an easy 500hp, so you're still 100hp short! Seriously though, a well-ported Cobra (Extrude Honed) could keep up with those heads to about 6000 RPM so itd be alright for a street car

302.7 rwhp @ 6100 rpm.
312.3 rwtq @ 4200 rpm.
Why pay for a dyno, just use those numbers to tell to people, or you can bump them up a bit if you like

That's a tough guess, the parts are quite the mismatch.

Don't bother porting the cobra, just last month they tested a ported cobra vs the BBK, and the BBk clobbered it.
I'd use an rpm intake.

The injectors and meter are also too small. Done right, the combo should get you around 320rwhp, but done your way, probably in the 280's. I realize this stuff costs money, but it's part of the game.
Me personally i wouldn't bother with a dyno run until you get some 24's and an 80mm pro m. Because you'll be going back anyway.

I also don't see how many cubes you have, a afr 185 is pretty big for a 302 or 306, and velocity will probably be hurt, making the car a turd down low.

I'm a big extrude honing fan, but for an intake it was good back in the day, when others that were better weren't available, now there is like 10 to choose from, so no need to bother dropping $250+ on that.

i figured the cobra would do well for a dd. i do plan on upgrading the injectors and the air meter just have not figured to what yet. i got the 185's so that i could use them as i modify instead of needing to get a bigger set later. it's stock 302 bottom end currently. a 351 may be in the future. it's a work in progress. it runs well and pulls hard so i'm happy till i can afford my next mods.
