This is what you will hear:

-You should use ported stock heads instead of those untouched aftermarket heads, they will flow more and are a little cheaper. Those Dart heads need to be sent out to a porter to get their true value...

-Those Dart heads flow well as is, price is decent, and later down the road you can port them to make a real nice set of heads...

The usual rule of thumb:
stock heads < aftermarket heads < ported stock heads < ported aftermarket heads

I just bolted on a pair of Dart Pro1s yesterday. Engine's still out of the car. My son and are close to finishing up the heads and cam swap, so no feed-back yet. I bought 180s to stay on the small port volume side but I cc'd them at 190 ccs.

I bought mine from JEGS; $1,350 which included shipping. Ignore the price on their site, give them a call, talk to a sales guy and if you get any static, tell him what I just wrote. I can email you my Invoice if it comes to that.

Hope this helps.
