Alcohol Heads On Gas?

Dave, et al;

I currently have a 350 Donovan sprint car engine that is still disassembled.
It uses a Kinsler mechanical stack injection (basically a Crower) setup on
methanol and has Brodix -12 heads. These heads seem to be (or were)
something of a "standard" in sprint car engines running alcohol.

My question is: are they any good running on gas? Or would high- port 18
degree heads be preferable for LSR applications? I haven't been able to find
out much on this question; most engine builders fall into two distinct
camps-- alcohol or gas. There seems to be very few who are experienced with
both.

BTW, I'm sorry if my automatic "Out of the Office" e-mail response has
annoyed anyone. I haven't figured out a way to make it selective.
