Looking for information on both sets of heads. I have a set of edelbrock heads on a 416 small block 1970 duster car went 1142 @ 117 162 60 ft. I am wondering if a set of Indy heads will clean up my 60 ft time
 
Has anything been done to the Edelbrock heads? If not, I would port those...that alone should get you in the high 10's. The Indy's are nice, but expensive (like close to 4 grand for the top end kit)...and in stock form are only a little faster than the Eddy's. The Indy's do have more HP potential when fully ported.

I hope that helps.

If I were you, I'd look at suspension/converter/tires/gear...........case in point; my 65 Barracuda Eddy headed 360, went 11.10 at 120.48, 1.58 60 ft. That's not to say that Indy heads won't give you give you an improvement, just saying you have other places to work over first

Assuming everything else about the car, drivetrain and chassis is maximized and operating at peak efficiency, then yes, in a minor way. IMO, not worth the bang for the buck.

The 60’ times get maxed via suspension working at peak.
Changing the gear ratio and/or tire will do better for tons cheaper. If it is possible of course. This depends on your rpm at the stripe.

Not near enough information. But I'll hazard a guess, no. It sounds like you be better spending your money optimizing your current combo.

Your 416 is pretty mild?
 
Look at the cam/converter/carb relationship and see if something seems less than optimally matched between the trio.
