Default TFS or Holley?

Just want to get some general thoughts here. What do you guys think would be better, TFS or Holley top end kit? I am building up a 347 stroker and want to get the best bang for the buck (I'm not poor, but I'm not Bill Gates). I have looked at just about every combo out there, as I am not that savvy with all the technical stuff, just looking for some thoughts on what H/C/I combo you would run if building a stroker. Just to clarify, I have no intention of ever running nitrous or s/c, just want a nice, streetable stroker, I have a friend that is running edelbrock performer heads and intake and it rips a$$, but I don't want to copy his setup.

a tfs or holley kit on a 347 is pointless.. you would be better off putting a better combo together

Like I said, I'm not too savvy with the tech stuff, but I was considering AFR heads with either a victor jr. intake or maybe even a spyder intake. How does this sound over the TFS and Holley combo?

I would go with rhs or afr 185's, a custom grind cam and I would go with the holley intake, but I have not really researched much info for a 347 build.

i got the eddy heads and rpm 2 manifolds and yea i like it. RHS, Canefield, Broddix, and there is another company other than AFR that are very good heads. afr heads u will need to get the spring upgrade, the ones that come with it are junk.
anyways i was told the holly manifolds flow the best. all those heads will be around $1,300+ (my eddys were 1,282 shipped)
eddy rpm2 was $610 and im not sure of holly's price.
