195 comps or 210's for 383 roller

i was wondering for a 383 with a roller cam of these specs
242/248 294/300
.542/.560 lift with 1.6 rockers
corrected lift .578/.599

compression is 10.7:1

part number on cam is 12-443-8

which heads will be better the afr 195 comps or 210 street eliminators? they both have the same flow numbers and valve sizes so i am confused but the 210's are more my price but i will spend if the 195's will better suit me if i really have to.

Where will this vehicle spend most of its time? On the street or at the dragstrip? If it's on the street I think the 195 comp heads would be better. The smaller ports will flow better, which will allow you to keep your low end torque without sacrificing top end horsepower. Just my 2 cents.

If you go to afr website there is a section that you can email them for what they suggest for you application. I would ask the experts there. I did that and ended up with the 210s for my 406 combo.
