I wouldnt rule out the Edelbrock heads, but we dont know what kinda power and driveability your looking for saying you have a big cam means nothing really cus maybe what you call a big cam might be a small cam to some of us

No. I'm almost positive what I think is a big cam is what you think is a big cam, and I am looking for a lot of power, enough that I am most likely going to bore and stroke it to a 383 this coming fall.

The question about these AFRs and ETPs is, are they worth the money. Don't get me wrong i have no problem paying more for a better product, but am i gona get as much out of them as i could with Patriot heads?
Simply searching the dynos section and then type Patriot into the search should show you more than you need to know. I have yet to hear a complaint that the AFR's did not make the power they expected. Heads are the most essential key of the engine making power and this area should not be skimped on. You get more than you pay for out of the top tier heads. IMO
