Are Speedmaster Heads Good? I've Heard a Lot of Bad Press on Edelbrock 340 Heads Lately

How can the speedmasters be garbage? I paid $440 with shipping for mine (bare castings) on black friday 2020, so with good hardware I have $8-900 in the heads. Best 1/8 mile on mine in a 3320lb car was 7.21 at 94mph in the 1/8th, seems like good ET economy to me. Granted the tricklflows are much better but for what I have into them I would challenge anyone to beat them. I have 3.5 seasons and about 500 passes on the motor to this point.

So I guess now my dilemma now is in order to eventually reach my goal of low 10's do I.
Option 1: Spend $3-4k for some trickflows with a manifold and Harland sharps to pick up a few tenths on my 360?
Option 2: Get an Indy top end set with valvetrain for $6-7k that will give me much more potential on the top end when I eventually build a stroker for max power?
Option 3a: Keep the Speedmasters and keep running this motor and build a completely separate 360 based stroker.
Option 3b: Keep the Speedmasters and keep running this motor and build a completely separate 400 or 383 based stroker.

I know other components will need upgraded along the way particularly if I go big block. The car already has a cage.

The car is street legal but race only at this point, first time I put it sideways at 50 mph I decided it was best for my pocketbook and driving record not to street drive the car.
