I would go with a minimum of a 225. The bigger 235-240 heads are supposedly right around the corner.

TFS is all I am going to say lol! No I have both and the AFR's are good also, but if I was buying new then I would go with the TFS as I think they are a tad better and you have more options as well as being a little cheaper. I personally would stay away from a factory castings if you are going to push it. If not then they are a decent option for sure and can be had for dirt. GL!

I agree, AFR 25 heads are what I have on my iron block/ProCharger F-1C Camaro, shown here.

the dart 225 flow pretty good as well, have a thick deck and are around 1k cheeper the the abc heads. i would use thm in place of a oe head, for psi
the afr and tfs are top notch but unless the car is all out competition, i dont really think there necessary.imo
