You are good to go with stock heads. You go with some milled AFR's and you will need to FLYCUTT those babies to give the bigger valves a little relief. No pun intended. Have a good Memorial day weekend, I have to work everyday, doing 16 hrs now. Oh well I volunteered for the OT. Later.

I'd measure just to be sure but you should be fine with stock heads. I loved it for the 250 or so miles I got to drive it before my engine puked (not directly related to the cam swap).

I was running a G5X3 on a 114 with stock 241 heads no flycut, just PRC Springs and Hardened Pushrods.Cam has a pretty Radical idle which I Love, and pulls like a Freight Train above 3000 rpm's. With your setup, A4 with 3200 stall and 3.73 you probably won't feel to much if any low rpm surge, I feel it slighly with the 3.42's, but I'm in a Vette with a Yank SS 3600 so I don't know if that makes a difference. I'll be going to 3.73's myself soon.
Car is down right now, been down for about a 5-6 weeks,installing Dart 225's and FAST 90/90. I've been been away sorting out a new business venture,which has kept me way to busy.
Loved the car Cam only, can't wait to see what it 's gunna feel like with the heads and FAST.
