Not sure about differences in flow, but I do know that the aluminum L98's have 58cc combustion chambers as opposed to 64cc on the cast iron ones and pre-87 carbeurated style intake bolt angles.

The Aluminum L98 heads flow better than the iron ones, but for a 406 I'd definitely get the AFR 190 heads.
