too big?

Are AFR 195 heads too big for my combo?

Re: too big?

I'm going to say they will make more power and be more upgradeable than the 180's, but be just a tad less street manners. I'd go with the 195's, but might want to run your setup and plans by someone at AFR at least to see what they say.

Re: too big?

yeah good idea. I'd like another 50 RWHP--I need exhaust bad--a better flowing intake too. Just worrried the BBK intake won't bolt up to my E-Tec (Vortec style heads)

Re: too big?

Hell no, 195cc's are great for a hopped up street car. Its better to have good heads and a small cam then a big cam and bad heads.
