Are your pistons notched for valve clearance? If so go with the AFR 185's. If not get the TFS Twisted Wedge.

I know Trick Flow had problems in the past, but I have recently seen a couple posts about problems with their quality resurfacing so I'm kinda sceptacle about them. The only problem I have seen from AFR heads was a guy that had one of the helicoils come out after trying to tighten a rocker blot down that was too long so it was actually his fault. I've done a ton of research on heads and I think I'll be going with either AFR 185's or 205's or maybe some Canfields for my 393 Stroker when I get it finished. My info is all based on reading up on these heads on message boards and in magazines and not actual hands on so I don't really know what I'm talking about

You might try searching for old posts about different heads and engine combos and see what comes up.
