Is it worth it to have my 243 heads cnc ported? I was thinking about having my 243 heads cnc ported with a valve job done this winter. Is it worth the price to do this? I have mods in sig. Car made 380whp on a mustang dyno at West Bend dyno in WI. How much could ported 243's pick up? I want to get 400+ on there mustang dyno. Future mods are: Bigger headers, 92/92 and true duals.

Ask yourself, is $1000 worth the 30rwhp gain you will be getting?
The problem with "is it worth it" questions is that can vary, some people will think it's laughable to spend a grand and only get 30hp. To some people, a grand spent to gain 30hp is a helluva deal.

I looked at Wegner ported 243s at Comp Products in Oshkosh and even
called them for flow info and the guy said "hey I can't brag 300 plus cfm but
my low and mid lift numbers are what I focused on"....they do look really nice
and with your larger cam I'm sure you'll see at least 25-28 rwhp at WB dyno.

Look at my sig. I vote for TEA stage 2 all the way. If you really wanna get the most do what chris^ says. If I would have spent more time researching I would have gone with the ls3 valves also. BUT, Im very happy with the heads anyway. 429/392 mustang dyno.
