Which heads would work best on a factory 5.0 with the E303 cam, AFR 165's or Trick Flow-Twisted Wedge heads? By best I mean all around not just max power.
AFR or Twisted Wedge?

AFRs all the way.

in one of the latest 5.0 mags the newest tw heads feature c&c porting.that would be my pick.lots of research will find the right head.
afr 165's, edelbrock performer intake, ed curtis custom cam. That is one nasty combo there.
why spend 1300 on heads and use a cam you can get for 50 bucks ?
just a thought

AFR since they come with CNC porting
Another vote for the 165's.
Afr's and I recommend getting another cam and port matching your intake!
but its got to be emissions legal, AFR 165's and 185's, and the Twisted Wedge are smog legal heads. Plus the E303 is legal, thats my I choose it. I just want somewhere near 400 ponies.
My first motor I had was a stock bottom end with a F303 cam with 1.7 rocker arms, Edelbrock performer heads, Performer intake, 65mm TB & EGR, C&L tube and mass air, 24# injectors, X-pipe, spinteck mufflers and 3.27 gears. It ran 7.90's 1/8 @ 87 MPH and 12.50's at 108 MPH. I think if I had 3.73's it would have pulled better times. The motor I have now is a Bennett 306 with twisted wedge heads everything else the same beside the gears I went to 3.73 gears. The car runs 7.90's @ 85 MPH. I have not took it to a 1/4 track to see what it would run there. I lost 2-3 MPH in a 1/8 and only thing differnt is block and heads. So IMO go with anything but Twisted Wedge. AFR's are nice heads and I like Edelbrock heads.
