Default Head porting.. for my LS2 heads

How much would it cost to have them ported/ polished. How much of a difference will it make? The heads aren't in the car YET, but I plan on putting them in next weekend.

I got some good TQ gains doing them myself on a set of LS6 heads. I flow benched them before and after and saw a difference all around, but the dyno only really showed a gain on the TQ side.

If you decide to do them yourself, leave the floors alone. Smooth but don't change the shape of the bottoms of both intake and exhaust - it is a fail safe in porting. The last thing you want to hurt is velocity

$800.00 for porting/valve job/surfacing. 30 RWHP gain on average.
