This is lame advice, no offense.

Iron impy heads normally mean press in rocker studs, a heavier head, and less timing you can run before detonation. Just not at all worth it for the marginal cfm gain, that with a stock cam, won't help anyway.

With LT1s in the very bottom of the barrel in terms of appeal/want, a set of good aluminum heads can be found for dirt cheap.
