Default Best IRON heads

which IRON is best for an engine combo that will hopefully make about 280ish. I know twisted wedge and AFR's are good but I prefer iron heads.

Don't get me wrong. I love my stage three ported and polished GT40 heads, with a triple angle valve job. But yeah why not get Aluminum. I don't care if your familier with them.

Trust me from experience by the time you get a set of irons to flow anywhere close to aluminum. You could have bought 2 sets of aluminums. Best thing to do is spend the extra 200-300 and get some tfs high ports and be done with the debate.
