Law, call Kevin, 704 361 3443, he has a guy that does great work. He can tell yo the pluses also. Had my 351 done and was worth it.

Re: HEAD porting
All the top tuners offer ported heads. And yes - it is worth it when done right. So is port matching to intake and headers.

Re: HEAD porting
Be sure to get a well matched cam to go with the heads. Its worth 20-30 rw hp for only $600 and is a great value. Also, be sure to upgrade your lifters while doing the head swap.

Call Larry Macedo, he has strong head/cam packages that will pass smog.
