Default AFR's vs VJ

sorry to keep posting about these things, but i wanna make sure i make the right choice. I've decided against the GT-40's. I was going to get the AFR 185cc's for 1300. then i saw victor juniors and obviously ive heard they are nasty for 1250. What do you think is better?

A mechanic and drag racer that I know (he races mustangs), says the edelbrock heads give you the best bang for you buck. He uses the VJ heads himself.

VJ make the most horse power out of the box ! Period.. I have never owned any but everywhere i have read Victors striaght from the box mad much more hp.. They are pretty much race heads from the box. But i would get the 185s cause i think you want more of a life besides drag racing. But if you dont have the bottem end to suppor t this head i wouldnt get 185s i would get 165s. Good luck in ur choice.
