Default Should I port my 241 heads but no valve job???

Thinking about milling & porting my 241 heads when I get my new 228/230 cam, springs & PR. My heads only have 19000 miles & I didn't want to pay the extra $$$ for the performance valve job. Question is would I miss out on a lot of cfm if I don't do the valve job or will I still be ok??? Thanks guys!

Get the valve job. A ported head will have all kinds of trouble breathing past a stock valve job. If you can't afford both, get the vlave job and valves instead of porting the head.
