There really isn't much in the area of a power difference. Fact is, many companies design they're cast iron and aluminum heads slightly differently. Even if they have the same name. For instance, the FMS GT-40 iron heads are at a disadvantage to the GT-40 aluminum heads due to revised ports and whatnot on the aluminums. The biggest differences is that aluminum disapates heat faster and weighs considerably less than iron.
