Answer)If you are going to just go with a head, usually you can add a ½ gram. From what I have seen on the inertia dyno that a head does not necessarily make more peak hp, rather it makes more average hp across an rpm range.

Say an 800ptec for example, the addition of a head will enhance the torque values, raising them between rpms of 6300 and 7600 rpms. That kind of torque increase will allow the engine to recover rpms quicker when you cycle the throttle.

More engine torque will allow you to run, varying the throttle position and observing a tighter feel between the throttle and the ground - like a stronger burst of energy every time you quickly apply throttle.

A head usually makes a real fun enhancement for guys who do technical driving in snow that use a lot of throttle control.
