in terms of performance how good are they? how much horsepower?


i found a set of gt40p for 550 and a set of gt40 for 450 both freshly rebuilt also found a set of pro com aluminum heads (60cc combustion chambers and 195cc intake runners) for around the same price what would be the best choice?

even though pro comp heads aren't that good if you can get them for under 500.00 they'd be your best bet
