Gains with just heads?

Anybody have et. results or dyno charts with just installing some decent heads and maybe some 1.6 rockers. This would be on your adv. bolt on car.

Well, take a look at my sig. I am very impressed with my results. I am certain that the heads gave me 40 HP alone. and the nice thing was that my torque curve stayed above 300 RWTQ from 2000 up to 5400. Very flat. Not a loss at all in my lower end.

Jason,

You made me look at my old invoice

Just to help give everyone an idea of the cost, here it is:

Bead blast: 60
valve job: 195
resurface heads: 100
cut spring seats: 80
porting & intake matching: 475

Valves, valve springs,
retainers, pushrod guide plates,
rocker arm studs: 470

This should give everyone a good perspective on what to look forward to. Damn, were they good looking before they went back on the car!

They say you have bad social skills if you need a conversation piece. Sorry. Thought I'd add that.
