Default Looking at heads

I'm looking at doing a heads/cam swap on my '95 coupe. Considering a Lloyd Elliot or Advanced Induction package. Just wondering why the $500 difference between the two. You get new valves with the AI package, but that's not $500 worth is it? HOw much Hp are the bigger valves worth? Is there something I'm overlooking? Trying to do it right the first time.

I can't answer your question directly, but do a search over on camaroz28.com This topic has come up a bunch of times over there. You'll see a bunch of pissing matches, but some good info. It seems like some guys are getting just a bit more out of the AI setup, but hard to really tell for sure. Basically they're both excellent shops.

I've read a bunch on the Z28 site. I haven't read anything that makes me think the AI setup is worth the extra $. Maybe I'm missing something. The motor won't be a max effort thing. Looking for a very streetable 375 to 400hp at the wheels. They both claim that and more.
