Default Heads Question

So I have a stock bottom end, ported intake, and a pretty healthy custom grind cam similar to the 847. I have been considering possibly buying a set of heads and I happened to come across these. Now I know they were originally setup for a solid roller cam but I was thinking I would just swap the valvetrain that I have in my stock heads as they support the cam up to a .600"

What do you think of the specs?

the heads have 2.05 and 1.56 valves with a 5 angle valve job as well as setup for a solid roller cam. they come with studs and guide plates and of course flow sheets.

intake flow: .300 180 exhaust flow: .300 126
.400 229 .400 154
.450 249 .450 181
.500 261 .500 193
.550 278 .550 203
.600 291 .600 206

Any input is appreciated as I don't really know what the exhaust and intake flow numbers really mean.

Flow numbers are useless alone. Find heads that have a track record of performing, such as advanced induction, Lloyd Elliott, Eric Bradby, AFR, Trickflow, etc.

any other comments on the heads? I'm looking to do this on a budget and although I would love to get a set of LE2 heads, I just can't drop that coin right now and I'd rather have this done sooner than later, like before the shootout
