I was wondering if it is worth it to trade out the heads I have for the open ones

I think you've got it wrong.

If you trade to open heads (meaning you now have closed chamber heads), you will get a lower compression #, and a lower HP figure.

Have you removed your current heads? Can you post a photo of the combustion chambers?

Whatever you do, toss the OEM valves and get one-piece stainless steel valves. OEM pieces (welded two-piece units) are known to shed the valve tips and ruin your engine when they do.

And do look into the offerings of aluminum heads. If you are buying new iron heads, doing full machining on them with new components, you'll be spending very close to what you would on new, fully assembled aluminum heads.
