Im going to buy heads next and was wondering if I should go with AFR 165 or 185? I have plans for a vortec SQ with around 10 to 14 psi. And what cam? And will the heads do much untill I get the supercharger?
I have a 88 saleen with hooker headers, saleen vortech intake,3.55 gears, and all the supension and other stuff saleen adds on.

That depends on how you use the car and what power level (and rpm range) you're aiming for. If it's basically a street car, the 165's and a mild or even stock cam would be nice. The 185's have larger valves, so piston to valve clearance may be an issue, especially if you decide to go with a more radical cam. The heads would definately make a difference, regardless if you run the vortec or not.

I'd go 185s myself. Get a custom cam so you can get the power band where you want it.

It is going to be a street car only. I still need it to smog so the cam might just be a ford e-cam. What do most car have with a supercharger? The 165 or the 185. Thanks for the help.
