I am planning on getting a new motor but I don’t know what way to go should I go with a set of gt40p heads with a b cam or should I go with AFR’s 165 with an X cam right know I don’t have to worry about smog but I don’t know how long it will last so would it still pass smog with the AFR’s and that cam I plan on getting it tuned as soon as possible thanks for any info

Do tou care about makng power? The AFR's will absolutely kill the GT40p combo, even w/ a stock cam (which I recommend for a daily driver w/1.7 rockers.)

BTW- AFR165's are smog legal. Doubt an X cam w/ pass the sniffer.

AFR 165s and tfs stage 1 cam for a good budget cam. I had that combo before i went to a custom cam, it made good power

AFR 165s and 185s are smog legal. My 347 with 185s passes with no problems. Not even close.

im trying to find out what cam to go with too thanks for the reply

Stock cam retarded 4 degrees w/ 1.7 rockers. You get the power w/out the idle issues.
