I run unported 243 heads that I had milled and I did a 5 angle valve job to. Make sure the valve job is hand blended into the throat, just make sure its a smooth transition from the seat to the aluminum. I also had my heads milled .020" which put them right at 62cc which = 11:1 compression with GM .051" MLS gaskets. You will have to flycut with that cam if you mill your heads.

If the valve job is done right and is not just a generic 5 angle job you will see some very nice gains from that alone. 450rwhp should be about right with a fast intake, underdrive, good headers, cutout and a 6 speed. Hope you realize you will be losing power by advancing the timing. On most 243 head setups peak power is around 22-26 degress of timing. It's not about the max timing its about the most efficient combustion, and every setup is different.

when I ported my heads the exhaust volume almost doubled with my 3" true duals over unported....you'll love it
I'm hoping to test fire and start tuning my 04 goat today when I get off work, milled .037" off the heads and dropped in a Trickflow 238/242 ..595/.595 112lsa.......i can't wait to hear what this thing sounds like with 15° of overlap
