Default AFR 205cc or 225cc?

Which would would fit better for my application? Going with a TRex v2 with a stock bottom end. Later down the road might/probably will be adding high compression pistons, rods, etc.

So should I just go with the 205's and 64cc I'm assuming to help out the stock bottom end or should I step up to 225's... which is meant for larger engine applications, would I lose that much low end torque with these?

i would stick with the 205's with a stock cubed motor. i have 205's right now on a 402 because i got them for a good price but when i get the money i am going with trickflows. but if you aren't stuck on afr's you could always get 215's. they would work good on stock cubes or stroked.

215s largest for a 346? Well, many of the LS6 CNC heads are approaching 230cc for what it's worth, and they seemingly all make strong midrange torque. It really baffles me...
