Call Ron @ Vengeance. I got a ported set from him that put down 483 to the tires through an auto with a PT4000, 12 bolt and slicks. Strong head, nothing stamped on the heads to indicate they were anything but stock. I hope he still has these available for those that want to keep a low profile.

I have a head porter that CNC ports heads and does a great job at it for a VERY good price...you would have to supply the cores though. I'll PM you the website...

Depending on your budget, goals and engine combo, it might behoove you to purchase a set of 243 and spend the $$$ on a better flowing head. Just my thoughts...
Good luck anyhow. Keep us posted
