Default Aluminum Head question

I am looking into mini rams. TPIS has 4 listed for L98's, and one is for aluminum fast burning heads. My car is an 89 w/ aluminum heads, is that what I have?

Thanks

TPiS MiniRam #500-505 for 1204 gasket.

The 1205 is for the bigger 195 AFR sized heads.

What sized miniram and gasket would be needed for 113 heads that have been ported out to approx. 180CC? I'm thinking 1204 still, especially since if anything the intake ports should be smaller than the head ports to prevent "turbidity". Is this true?
