When a company claims XXX cfm ,and you test them....and they make 10-15 less cfm....that is sad.

Believe it or not, you'll probably make more power N/A with the AFR 165's
(Assuming you keep the stock displacement)
What kind of flow bench do you have?

I have seen alot of people say this but never have I seen proof...... But I have seen stock bottoms fly with 185's
Yeah, you're right. I'm going to call AFR tomorrow and tell them that they may as well scrap the 165's oke:
I had the AFR 165s and now have the 185s on a stock bottom end with FTI cam......went 7.12 with 165s and the old FTI cam and goes 6.98 with notched pistons and 185s and new fti cam in a 92 coupe with 302 and 4.10 gears, full stock interior. I will never have anything but AFRs as it seems my car has run with several strokers with trick flow and other brands of heads.
Thanks for the useless post.
I was just looking for someone that has tried both sets and if they gained or lost power..........
The 165's will provide better velocity on a stock displacement 5L
The 185's will make a better blower head on the same engine.
My point is that it would probably take a rather aggressive N/A setup (aggressive cam timing, high compression, intake, etc) to make more meaningful power. Even then, the majority would be all up top. Great for a track car; not the greatest on a street car. It's not always about overall flow.
