Edelbrock head alternatives?

I have no idea about best or fastest or whatever, but these two things I can say; The Eddies are staying on my 367, and, I'm never going back to a 340.
I ran 340s, on and off, starting in 1970, and always with 4-speeds, and rarely tracked them. And not a one of those iron-headed hotrods could come close to this Eddie-headed sweetheart. There are no apples to apples comparisons in my scrapbook, only memories.
For a streeter,with a 65mph barrier,I wonder if it makes a big deal. As a streeter, we normally don't stray too far from 3.55 gears, and so you're always gonna hit 65 in second gear.And most of first gear is spent in tire smoke. So really unless you short-shift it,your engine is only gonna have to pull, in second gear. Say from about 50/55 to 65.
For a serious streeter who runs 4.10s the speed zone comes down to 45/50, and if he runs say a 284 cam, it goes back up to 55 again.
So how much quicker will the typical race-type heads be for those 10 or 15 mph? And how much are you paying for that performance increase?
I mean we are talking street cars that do zero to 60 in the range of about 5.2 to 5.5 seconds,right? And at least the first 4 of those are spent in first gear,searching for traction.
I wonder if the money wouldn't be better spent on getting first gear to hook. I mean there's at least .5 to .7 second lost in the 60ft, and the potential to drop another .5 in the rest of first gear. So that's around 1 to 1.2 seconds lost in first gear. I'd like to say no head in the world will give you that back from 50/55 to 65. Not even if you started with the most anemic lumps Chrysler ever built.
But like I said, I have no idea.
