Default AFR Heads ?

I got a question, car is a stock 94 gt with 96K. I'm looking to get some heads and i'm not really sure what direction I should on in. I got a Trick Flow street heat intake and TF stage 1 cam already(not installed). My question is, will AFR 165cc stud mount heads work with the trick flow intake that i got? or should I go with Trick Flow twisted wedge heads. I got a bunch of parts that are going to be installed soon so i want to make sure I get the right heads to go with what I got.

The list of mods waiting to get installed:
3:73 gears
UPR throttle cable
Trick flow street heat intake
Trick flow stage 1 cam
Mac 1'5/8 long tubes cermaic coated.

either head is good and flow about the same.

TW's do have a little bigger intake valve and better low lift flow
but the AFR's come from the factory with CNC ported intake runners

Out of those 2 choices, I'd buy the Twisted Wedge heads.

Thanks for the replys. I think I might go with the AFR's. I've been trolling some forums and the dyno results I have seenare pretty impressive.

normally i would say AFR's but with the TF cam and intake it may be better to use their heads so everything is matched. they DO dyno test their combos when they design them for a reason

that is true but the TF top end kit doesnt put out very impressive numbers. I've seen people put out higher numbers with AFRs and E303 cam.
