The 185 heads are better heads than the 165s, but not for your combination. AFR 185s will do good on a 302/306, but they need more compression or boost. The 165s are fine and will prove to be about the same as Twisted Wedges. The AFR 165s should have better bottom-end numbers. I was talking to someone at Total Engine Airflow (don't know if you've heard of them or not) and he said that their testing showed on the same motor, I'm assuming a 302/306, that the Twisted Wedges peaked about 10 more horsepower. This was on an engine dyno. It'd probably be about 7-8 on a dyno. This is small enough to be due to the cam or another part of the combo and not just the heads. If it were me, and when the time comes, I'll be going AFR.
