AFR 165's VS 185's VS TFR Twisted Wedge

Stang67 · 04-27-2003, 12:11 AM

Im looking to put some new heads on my 95 Cobra and i was wondering what would be the best choice for me. The 165's seem to be too small for my plans (S-Trim & 347 Stroker) but i am afraid that the 185 or Twisted wedge heads might be to much for my car as it is right now, all i have done is put a 70mm TB, 80mm MAF, Pro 5.0 Shifter, Annihilator Ignition, 1.6 Rockers, BBK Shorty Headers, BBK X-Pipe W/Cats, Flowmaster American thunder cat back. My goal is to eventually put a 347 and S-Trim, as mentioned earlier, so if anyone has an idea which would be the best choice i would appreciate the advice. Thank you

Steve

PS. Anyone have an opinion on the stock Cobra cam VS FRPP E-303?

well right now the 185's would be a bit much but if down the road your planning on a 347 with blower then i'd say go for them now. you don't want to have to buy another set of have to get them ported.

The 185's will love that stroked and blown engine. You'll lose a little bit if you put them on your current setup, but if you get the 165's or TW's, they will make your car run better right now, but be a bottle neck when you stroke and supercharge it. Like lx mike said, you don't want to be buying another set of heads. ~Brian
