Question Head choice poll for my short block

Ok fellas im in the market for a killer top half for my short block. I have a iron 6.0 forged pistons stock crank and rods. Simple build kits was a deal I couldnt pass up.
Ok Im just looking to get info on who does the best work. Texas speed prc shows better flow numbers and less pricey. Wcch and mast are bout a few hundred bucks difference. But flow numbers are lower then tsp. so I'm asking how could price be higher and numbers lower or am I missing something. I called all 3 companies and I am confused.
So my ? Is who do I buy the heads from? Cheaper tsp bang for buck, or pay extra for others?

Don't you mean have fast cars? LOL

You still want that cam? I would get the All pro's first and if they aren't in the budget then get the trickflows. I have the trickflow heads 215cnc heads with custom port and valve work done to them.. I bought the heads for my old build (stock bottom end LS1) And did the work to them so they would work better with the new build.. Even Brian Tooley was surprised how well these heads worked with the new motor..

Performance.. To me All pro's are the best off the shelf head you can buy. The RHS are good heads along with the TrickFlows.. My car is flying for the motor and weight of it.. I would put my car up against any other pump gas motor that's about the same cubic inch.. You can't go wrong with the Trickflows but if you don't mind spending the extra $$$ To me the AllPros is the way to go!!

Making power isn't all about Flow Numbers.. But companies like trickflow and West Cost cyclinderheads, RHS don't inflate there #'s like some other companies seem to do.. You can make power with the PRC heads but you can make more power with an after market head..

There was a guy at the track last time out running a Futral 383ci LS1 motor with All Pro heads, th350 tranny, 4.11 gears and a fullweight car with e N20 converter. On motor the car was running 10.35@130mph. On the spray he went 9.43@146mph.. That's flipping rolling..
