Default Head Advice needed Fast

Hey guys, my friend just called and offered me a set of Edelbrock Performer Heads and rockers for a pretty good price, I was just wondering how much diffrence they would make. Anybody running them, if so how much diffrence did they make? I am going to list my motors mods so you guys can tell me if they will work well with my steup: I have 306 w/ E303 cam, longtubes, MSD, Ford Racing GT40 intake, #24 injectors, and most of the other bolt ons, please let me know asap so I can ****** them before someone else does. Thanks in advance for all of the help. [sm=hail.gif]

yeah they do fine..I wouldn't pay of 650 or so..... not sure why you have 24's but with the 1.90" valve you'll see a nice increase of 40 hp or so

any aluminum heads would be an improvement over the stock cast iron ones IMO. and the price don't sound bad to me since it includes the rockers. I would go for it before he changes his mind.
