You will lose bottom end (torque) but gain up top (HP) A power adder will spice your combo up a bit. As to say they're too much...nah...I don't think so. But without some sort of power adder (or lots of compression) the big valves will definately hurt you down low..

Good luck ;-)

The cam and intake are very wrong for the heads. Mismatched combo's don't make power, unfortunatly.
