Default heads
I run the AFR 165 heads and they make excelant power on a 302. I'm at 289 rwhp and 298rwtq. The key to these heads is that they flow well at mid lift and max lift. My secondaries where not opening all the way so I feel that 300 rwhp is not out of the question with these heads. I have a stock 91 short block, crane 2030 cam, rpm air gap (knock off), Holley 650dp. Idles at 800rpm and pulls very well. If you don't plan to stroking in the future stay with the 165 head the 185 head has 2.02 and will require piston notching. If your concerned about the chamber size just mill the 58cc AFR 165 down to 56cc. I think AFR offers this service in house or call Ed Curtis the AFR Man.

later
