Twisted wedge would be the better choice. Better out of the box and bigger valve's with much room for improvement if you decide to get them ported professionaly in the future.

I have seen the trick flow twisted's ran on a 347 before back to back with some edelbrock heads and a 650 carb. Cam had .510 lift and 224duration or sumthin. Trick flow's lost 10hp @ the flywheel. (and they both had the same runner volume and valve size).

If those are your only choices then I suggest going with edelbrock.

thats a lousy way to look at it the cam wasnt set up for either set of heads to make proper power.

agreed.

you can still have nice driveability with these heads so why not make more power at the same time
