Almost always worth it to have any heads ported, but make sure you find someone who knows what they are doing. The LS6 heads flow well stock, but can be made better with a quality port job.

I supplied everything (243s, valves, springs etc) and Advanced Induction CHD did all the work for under 1100 and they have a great track record. With my new H/C package and supporting mods 453rwhp 422 tq through an RPM Stage V 4L60E Vigi 3400 stall.
