Edelbrock vs AFR heads
Has anyone done any tests between these two?
I am looking for a new set of heads, I just read that a set of Edelbrock LS1 heads installed on a stock F body yielded 54 HP and 41 TQ (July issue of GM Hi-Proformance mag)
Is this "real", 50+ HP from just a head change?

Well, not to debunk Edelbrock but the way the comparison was run I think similar results would be obtained with the AFR's as well. AFR's now have some history to them, Edelbrocks are relatively new. I don't think you can go wrong either way as they both produce quality products. Nice having these great selections in parts, isn't it? 
What do these babys go for

I'll probably be going with the Edelbrock in a larger runner size once results come in for the L92 stoker we're doing this winter. Early results are very positive.
I'll have to see some real world results, I know how magazine testing can sometimes be "off".

The Edelbrocks may turn out to be great heads, but I just haven't seen much evidence yet.
There are a number of stock cube cars in the 9's with AFR heads. That's enough proof for me.

Based on your description I thought you were describing the AFR 205's.
