Default cylinder head moding

I am building a 383 out of my 2001 LM7 ENGINE and I am looking for advice on how much flow I can get from a set of stock head that are ported and polished

Any help would be great

Anyone have any numbers from a set that's been done

A good start would be to actually tell us what heads you talking about?

A little more information on what you want out of this combo would be helpful. Is it being built for a tractor pull, drag race , autocross car, boat, etc application? Also any information about the short-block (piston volume and the like) would be helpful!

We've got quite a few ported GM casting heads to choose from 5.3L's, LS6's, 6.0L's, and more!
