Swapping stock heads for stock heads you'll see a slight increase in HP due to the bump in compression. You'll also see a need for higher octane fuel, likely higher than you can get at the local station. If you think gas is expensive, start mixing in $8+ race gas and it gets real old fast. I don't think swap is a worthwhile proposition.
