Gt40's are only a little bit better then the stock heads. AFR's are one of the best heads available ot of the box.

If you can't afford the AFR's, at least look into some Twisted Wedge Trickflows, or Edelbrock Performers. I personally think the GT40's are a waste of time, the TFS and Edelbrock heads are only a little more expensive, but provide more performance.
