Default 357w Head confusion! Need Input

Hey guys great site great info, right now I have a 351w .30over with Hawk H-beam rods balanced bottom end
polish and chamfered crank, the cam specs out to Intake lift .547 Exhaust .536 Duration at .006 int 276 exh 276,
duration at .050 int 220exh 224. lobe separation 113 descent idle!Oh JE pistons at 10.5-1 compression.

The big question what dam heads! I have a Trick FLow R upper and lower with a 75mm eldelbrock throttle body, I was
leaning towards the AFR 185 heads that flow 267cfm at .500 but I looked at Edelbrock Vector jrs that flow 268cfm at .500
and the Edelbrock is 200 bucks cheaper, the question is I havent seen allot of people run the Edelbrock heads I always here about
trick flow or AFR whats the deal with the edelbrock versus afr and is one that much better than the other any help would be appreciated oh I didnt want to spend over 1500 for heads still need to get some other parts thanks again guys.

dont underestimate the jr's, they are excellent heads. have you considered the trick flow R heads since you have their intake? i dont recall their flow numbers offhand but i remember seeing them and thinking "dayum!!"

I have considered the TF's but my pistons arent notched for the trick flow twisted wedge valve position,
also im trying to find out which head edelbrock or AFR will match the upper intake if I have to port match
i will but its nice to get close, just trying to research the best parts, thanks again guys.
