Default are they really this good?

http://www.carcraft.com/techarticles/116_0307_ford/. car craft gained 104 hp and 53 ft/lbs with a set of afr 165's and a set of headers. i know these are crankshaft horsepower, but damn! Stock crankshaft and all. Am i just a newbie and these results are typical or are these just excellent heads?

104 hp..I highly doubt it out of the box but there a nice peice..stock crank?..I bet you ment stock cam..some people don't relize the stock cam cam be a good thing with a nice set of 1.72 will help a ton....seen 11 sec stock cam engines

oops. yeah i meant stock cam. wouldn't you realize a bigger horsepower gain with an aftermarket custom cam than with 1.72 rockers and stock cam?

Stock 302 will give you 225 at best i believe, and they claim 400 with the same combustion...
