Without knowing the displacement or compression, I'd say you are looking at a AFR 205 as your best bet. Vic Jr, out of the box, is between a 185 and 205 in terms of flow.

225s would be best.
but for the money, vic jrs would be your best bet. I would get them, have a 5 angle valve job and springs done, and you still will be cheaper than the 205/225s.

Looking for 9.50's or better.
I have Vic jr's with a valve job and minor port wk,with really nice springs.
Kinda liked to hear they were not going to be enough. I need thenm on my street car - the heavy roller springs of coarse.

Vic. Jr's or AFR205's wont be enough.....AFR225 would be the way to go to reach your goal.
Vic. Jr's are a great bang for the buck head but they simply wont be enough for your combo. Even AFR205's put out better flow numbers then the Vic. Jr.
