My machine guy happens to be a really good friend and will port my stock ls6 and heads for extremely cheap. I am going wtih the vengeance vxr5 cam. So i figured while i was installing it i could take the heads and intake off to let him port it for me. Is it even worth the effort? I eventually want to save up for some trick flow 215's and a fast 92/92 set up. But hey arent we all...But since i have the oppritunity should I?

If it's cheap I would go ahead and do it. Plus, if you decide to sell them once you put some aftermarket heads on, they're already ported so it gains peoples interest.

Be advised if he's never ported heads before he could do more harm than good. A bad port job can cost HP. A terrible port job will ruin heads.

Does he have access to a flow bench?

yes his family owns a hot rod shop. Its what he does for a living. He has done a set of heads for me before on my 393 bronco. I know he isnt just going to be doing this in his garage and winging it. I know they do good work.

mill the heads to boost compression

multi angle valve job perhaps

still have yet to see anyone actually port an ls6 intake..other than opening up the mouth a little for an 80mm TB.

yeah its not my ideal set up. But i figured it would compliment the cam alot better. And since i have the resources to do it, then why not. But if I did decide to mill the heads what do is a save cc and cr to run on stock internals.
