Swapping from iron to aluminum heads

IQ..would the engines respond differently hauling a 3600 lb car on a hot day?
i.e...cylinder heat would be higher as well as cylinder pressure.
..one thing for sure though,aluminum heads will lighten your wallet!
They also lighten the front end by 50 lbs or so , with alu intake , headders and other weight saving parts it adds up . Wish they had an alu block to match .
