Changing the heads alone wont to anything to the tune. Do you have a cam? Is the cam matched to the heads?
You may pick up some power but to spend the $$ on ported heads and not take advantage via the proper cam is wasting money.

See sig for mods. I guess I should have phrased it "will it run rich with heads" because that is my main concern. I'm not going to be doing any WOT runs until it's tuned but I do need to know if I can make it to the tuner OK.
