If you have long tube headers then no you wont have to change them. Also you are going to have to get another cam, you dont have to but to see the gains with the heads a cam is a good idea. I think this is in the wrong section prob should be in internal engine section. lol had to do it

I am going to swap the cam also. I thought heads were bolton and cams were internal. Guess it shows how much I know by my original post. I just thought that since headers were bolt ons I could find anwser here fastest.
Thanks for the info, I did not want to buy a head cam package just to find out I needed new headers as well.

No new headers required - although they'd go great with those heads.
I think you'd definitely see an increase in power with just heads - although, to really shine, a new cam would be a great as well.
The AFRs are a much better design than the stock heads, therefore gains can be had. Better runner design, better chamber design, etc...
Good luck.
