lets talk about torque! Heads for 305?

with the 305, the choices of heads are not that big. So the world torquers and the vette heads seem to be the only ones.
The claims are ~60hp improvement for heads and cam. But i'm wondering what torque gains i can expect for this upgrade, since the car is only street driven? (damn, we don't have any race tracks here... )
Anyone can help me? (dynosheet are welcome )

Thanks
Pat

TrickFlow now sells a head with 58cc chambers, 1.94/1.50 valves and 175cc intake runners for the 305. The post 1987 ones are about $1,000 from Summit.

I'm wondering if they are a direct bolt-on or I would have to do some stuff like EGR rerouting...
