Default cylinder head choice for 306

I can get a used set of ported windsor sr heads (iron) for really really cheap, and was wondering if they would work better on my car than my holley systemax 2 heads. What do you guys think? You can definately tell these things have been ported. The previous owner went a 12.8 with these on a low compression 306 (8.1), f cam, and the typhoon intake ported on street tires. Just wondering if these would be worth it, or should I wait and just get my holleys ported? (i already have some holley systemax 2 heads)

here are the ported heads flow numbers (approx) http://www.kendrick-auto.com/dart_wi..._ford_head.htm
