school me on "a good set" heads,intake.Street car

The stock cam is not going to slow you down as much as you'd think with that combo. Car Craft did a pretty infamous build of a roller-302 (5.0) with a stock HO cam, the older AFR 165's, and an eddy peformer intake (carb) and made close to or above 400 fwhp. That's of course with no accessories, etc. but I would be totally happy with that.

You're certainly sacrificing some power up top, but if this car's primary intended purpose is for the street, I wouldn't care too much. You can probably find that article on the afr headed 302 on www.carcraft.com if you dig around a little.

Ive seen that article before and a few other ones like it (theres a few links on AFRs website) Your right though, I could make more horsepower with a different cam but the stocker will make a fun street car. I think the reason this combo will be good is because the 165s have good velocity = torque.. cobra intake = torque... stock cam = torque.. should make a fun street car with room to upgrade down the road
