Are Corvette L98 Heads much of an improvement over Camaro L98 heads?

I know the Vette heads work wonders on a 305, but what about on my 350, if I can get a set cheap, would they be worth it?

I have vette heads on my car today, and if you can get them cheap and then add some port work they'll give you a nice Hp gain.

They work great on my car. Keep in mind they have smaller combustion chambers (58cc vs 64cc) so you'll get a bump in compression. If you can port them yourself its even better, but out of the box, they suck.

Plus you get a nice weight reduction off the front of the car.
