I don't think heads alone will give you much at all. Just like a car, when you increase compression or flow, you have to compensate with more fuel and air. Hydro Tec sells their parts in kits for a reason.

Depends on the boat. A performance hull, about 2-3 mph on top. Where it helps all boats is holeshot and midrange.
Heads give you the biggest solo mph boost (or does for most engines), been there.
My 2002 rig did 74 with them...200hp basic V-Max.
Now I have the reeds and the ECU upgrade in my 2006 Yam HDPI and do the same 74 but the HDPI has good upside potential w/o needing the heads so I stopped at reeds/ECU for now...
I would smell 77-78 with new heads on this HDPI as I understand (Matt or Wayne Worthy can verify this issue)...requires 89 or more octane for any new hi-perf heads...may get some myself this year, we shall see.
Call HT and they will answer any questions the same day.
