wondering if 20WHP gain is a good expectation from those who have installed upgraded heads.
I would say minimum 20HP. Air flow is everything when it comes to power production. Of course everything depends on whether the head porter knows what he is doing.
I picked up between 80 and 100 HP when I replaced my iron heads with ported aluminum heads. Went from low 13's to low 12's at the track.
