You should get them recut with a modern design/squish. The stock ones are nothing more than bling.

Less than BLING, the ones I got had a combustion chamber of 27-28cc's... so you're pretty assured of losing HP... it's easier to make stock heads work

We will NOT speak of the mess the swingarms are

I have to agree but people love them for some reason

What's the deal on them?

My 2cents.
I had SCR properly done my "DG4" heads for my 350.  I think they are 19ccdomes.
My swingarm is also from a 400, making it 2" over on my 350, which really tamed the wheelies.
Re-annodized and chromed head bolts, bling yes.  I don't care.
