aluminum heads

I have aluminum heads on my 1994 z28, I don't know what kind they are. How can i tell without taking them off? They are aftermarket, but don't have any documents to verify what they are...

Usually trickflow, AFR, and a few others will have names or symbols engraved on the heads.

As Javier said these cars came with aluminum heads from the factory. If you pull the valvecovers you'll probably see the gm part number on them.

I am not an expert, but i did take the car to 2 experts and they should me a stock lt1 engine and heads. My were different as well as the water pump and injectors. You could see where the intake and heads where removed, the gaskets kinda overlay the heads and intake a bit. The car also smoked a 96 vette and ran neck and neck with a 2000 ws6 with 390 hp, he had the dyno sheet.
