Default Trick flow double hump 175s

Hi everyone, it's been a while since I've posted on here. I currently have a blueprint engines 350 in my 67 Biscayne. It has iron vortec heads and it makes about 390 horsepower. I've been thinking about upgrading to a set of trick flow aluminum 175cc double hump heads. They flow great for such a small runner, 258cfm @ .500 lift.
anyway, they are about $750 per head assembled. My question is, is there a better head for the same money?
Thanks you!

I'm going to go out on a limb and say those Chinese heads are probably not going to be nearly as good as Trick Flows.

hi there!
I actually went and did some research on the pro-filer heads, and they are cast, machined, and assembled in the USA. And from everything I've read, they're a very well designed head that flows very well.

That limb broke and you hit every branch on the way down.
