umm to get a good job you would be looking at 1000...you might as well get some patriots if you are on a budget...you can get ls6 style's for 1400 and they are far superior to any port job you could get on your stock heads...plus you get to keep your stock heads, not that you could sell them for very much...but it's just an idea

Any dude with a die grinder can "port and polish" heads
but sometimes less is more, especially on a street car
that wants decent low-mid RPM torque more than 6000RPM
dyno numbers. Remove every bump you see and you get more
flow but less swirl mixing etc. You'd likely best stay away
from anyone who hasn't made a decent reputation and has
some flow sheets on file that show both performance and
consistency job-job.
Much more on this subject in the Internal Engine forum....
