Don't have any numbers to support my answer, but I would say go for it on a bigger cubed motor like what you are building.

Probably depend on who ports it but you should definitely be able to pick up some more hp.

Its worth 5-10hp on a stock cube LS1, I would guess its more for a 408ci..like 10-15?? I'm really guessing here, no solid proof. For me its really worth it on my setup I think. I'm sure I would've done around 10rwhp instead of 17rwhp for my ported FAST gains.

It also depends on what heads you plan on using also. If you are looking for a really good pricey set of heads, a ported FAST would be in your best interest. But I agree with Johnnystock though.

A regular FAST 92 will do you good unless you have those 225s ported on top of it. Porting can't hurt, but power for the $....
I say go for it, but are you willing to spend a couple hundred bucks for a less than 20whp in most cases? Your choice really
