Replacing your 114cc heads with a pair of 89cc heads will give better performance for sure..........grab´em.

You will need to watch the rest of your build to make sure the comp ratio does not go too high if you want to run pump gas.

I have a set of these heads as well...but I thought the valves were 1.96\1.66. With the small chambers, I always thought they might be a good head to port and use on my 406.

Definitely double check that valve size as I too thought they were small valves. Still, the chamber size is much more favorable and adding larger valves isn't a problem.
