I am not sure of your set-up, but yes. If you have stock heads then yes 10 times! You will need a cam, headers, intake and carb to match.

I think he means which are better, Dart or Edelbrock heads? I don't have any experience with Dart heads.

Im not a huge fan of edlebrock but I now they make decent heads. But I cant stand their carbs dont have any experience with dart heads but I would give them a try because dart makes good stuff.

I am just trying to say that if its a big name it is going to be good. It may not be the best, but good. With a big name you also have tech support. They will all so match parts for you,

What good are great heads and a stock cam or a stock intake or a stock carb? I hear you. You have to replace or rework it all.

I have Dart heads on 2 of my cars. I have the JR. and the SR. versions. Both are ported and blended and have worked excellent for me. The SR. has bigger valves and runners, so put this on a 351 or bigger. The JR is great for the money and works well on a small block 289/302. When porting the JRs, be carefull on the intakes because the walls are thin and you can run through to the pushrod channels. I have made over 450 HP with the JRs and NO nitrous. They have 58cc chambers which will give you a good streetable comp ratio. They come up on EBAY pretty often for a great deal under World Product Dart. Very good customer support and web page as well. Hope this helps.
