Default 5.0 Head Confusion

I have a '90 Mustang 5.0. I installed a Trick Flow Street Manifold and Stage 1 Trick Flow Cam and saved up for some Twised Wedge Heads. Now, I am not so sure if this is what I want to do. I read that the AFR 165's might be the way to go. My main concern is horsepower and if that means starting from scratch, that's fine with me. Which heads would give me the most horsepower? Also, I plan on blowing up the engine in the future. If anyone could give me some advice, I would appreciate it. Thanx.

Nevermind guys, after reading through the forums I have come to a conclusion. I will be sticking with the TFS heads. They have more flow than the 165's and can even out shine the 185's once bored. I already have the TFS Intake and Cam so why not get matching heads. My ultimate goal is a blown engine with 400-500 horses and these heads have produced that and more time and time again. Thanx.

with that head/cam/intake combo you will have no problem making the power you want with a blower on there with only 8 lbs of boost.
