AFR heads worth it?

I've got a 350 roller bored .020 with flat tops(+5cc)'stock deck height,stock crank.This is going in a 61 shortbed with a TKO-600 and 3.90 gears.Truck will not be a D.D. or a track truck,just for fun.My question is "are the afr heads worth the extra money?"They are half again as much as the brodix IK-180 or the edelbrock RPM heads.I don't mind spending the money if the AFR's are going to make that much of a difference.I'm trying to get a "recipe" for this motor so I can start collecting the parts so any opinions or recommendations will be appreciated!

Re: AFR heads worth it?

if a fun truck and not looking for that last 1% of power all listed above will get you there..
my take, you'll get more out of it learning to tune the timing and carb than any power difference you'll see in the same cc port sized heads
