should I port my stock heads?
Well, my car is immobile right now due to a busted 10 bolt , so I was thinking while it's sitting should I go ahead and take off my heads and send them out to get a port/polish? I found a shop here in NC that can do it for around $600. I am pondering this option because I am about to spring $2,000+ on a new rearend and can't afford another $2k for the AFR's right now. What would you do?

suspension mods to go along with the rear end would help

600 bucks for ported heads sounds pretty scarry what does this include?
if i were you i would save up untill i had the money for a pro to do it
are you just looking for a stage 1
you shouldn't totally give up the idea of a gm casting we've been getting some pretty impressive numbers out of our very recent 5.3 and even 5.7 stuff flow bench and dyno
