A.I. can port the stock LS1's to make a bunch more power than stock LS6's.Ported LS6's will make more overall but for the money they are making sick power even with LS1 heads.

I am curious on the answer the actual OPs question as well. Port my 241 or stock 243s for my LS1. Money for 1 or the other.

I'm in the same boat, except I'm sticking with stock cam for now. Looking to port my stock 241 heads because it's cheaper. Does anybody know a reputable shop around the L.A. area for porting? Or just a general price they charge? Trying to bring this thread back to life
