I doubt it would slow it down any lol. The weight loss is a plus, and you'll have something to grow into. Good investment IMO.

Generally just slapping different parts on without a plan yields money lost and disappointment.
Aside from the few pounds of weight difference, the only advantage to aluminum heads is a reduction in detonation risk at high compression.
Come up with a plan, make it come together, and you will be way ahead of most.
