Default Dart 205cc Heads- Port them or not??

Just received a set of Dart 205 heads. Should I send them out somewhere for a porting or just use them stock?
Also should I match the exhaust ports with the gaskets?

They are an "as cast" head. If you have access to a good head porter, I'd suggest having some work done to them. An extensive port job that reshapes the intake or exhaust ports would not be needed- some basic work on these heads, would be worth good flow all over the curve. I've had a set on a flow bench, and have a little big of experience with them. They're a powerful head as stock, but I'd really like to see what they do with some port work.

I know alot of porters prefer to start with the Dart casting, rather than any of the other aftermarket castings.
