Heads Up! Pondering Info?

I just reread an article in Mopar Muscle/July 06 about Mopar heads. It rated the various heads as to power output. It said that the swirl port head(302-308 casting) would make more power than the X or J heads!? Following that would be the 92 and up Magnun head. Of course the aftermarket heads would follow from there. The reasoning was the quench chamber design would outperform(out power) the larger port and valve heads? I can see their point at lower rpm levels or smaller displacements. I guess what I'm seeing is better burn is better than more flow. My question is how much difference would it make on a moderate 360 streeter? In the planning stages now but I am one of the old school guys who would rather build good torque than peaky HP. It doesn't make to much sense to me to have 500HP when 99.9% of my driving will be under 2500rpm. Feel free to knock this one around. To "stroke or not" was a good thread(a little heated) but I don't want to open another my opinion is better than yours feud.

Thanks guys.
