sbc 400 recomended heads?

hey guys, simple question. or I think lol

getting a 400 block, boring it out minimum of .30 over unless I need to go more because of scores etc. and would like to make 425hp at the flywheel, rear wheels would be cool too lol. but anyways probably run like 9 or 9.5 to one pistons so I can get away with lower octane. but my local speed shop has edlebrock RPM aluminum heads, would you recomend these for this motor? I dont see myself upgrading down the road, I think they have 170cc runners and like a 72 cumbustion chamber....

Actually, perform the search, type in "heads for 400" or something. Youll be astounded at what you will find.
