Are aluminum heads worth it?

This car is not going faster then 12s. I had it since I was 15 and want to be able to cruise in it. Next winter I'll be in the market for another a body to cut up. Heads are going with the block to get checked out.

Say what??? Why can't you run faster than 12's and still go cruise?

I have worked on my Barracuda since I was 15, owned it since I was 18...and I now drive my mid 10 second car all over town in the warm months (and race it 2-4 times a month)....and no, my car is not a hacked up race car...it even has wipers and a back seat.

For what it's worth, my Barracuda uses ported Edelbrocks....I think they are worth it. If you only want to run 12's, you probably could just keep the stock heads and do a little port work...I wouldn't if it we me, but it's not my money.
