Default Good alloy heads for a Chev?

Hey guys,
I know, bad question to ask a ford community, but here goes!
We've decided the Procomp alloy heads we've got on the racecar just don't cut it and we're looking at getting some real ones. Anyone suggest a good brand? We've had Edelbrock Victor Jr heads before and they were rubbish.
The engine is a SB350 non-vortec, soon to be a 365 stroker, with fuel injection.

all my chev friends with the old school motors run brodix heads, one of them is getting a pair of heads (complete) off a nascar team to see what he can do with those.

I'm seeing a few people say Brodix are worth a try. The only bloke I know racing a Chev runs Iron Eagle heads, and that's in a 34 Tuda that runs 7.2s so I assume they're not bad...

I'm talking legitimately SB 350ci, mid-70s style block (101 block maybe?), 1 cam, 4 valve Chev. Not a rebadged Holden engine

When I was racing power boats 10 years ago we were using Dart steel heads and Brodix alloy ones.
I was at the races last weekend and they are using AFR now.
