Default Porting 853 heads?

How much of power would i gain if i ported my 853 casting heads on my 99 camaro with a pretty big cam and would it be worth it? The heads were rebuilt about 2k miles ago

I'm not sure about the power but I had mine professionally ported and the numbers came out pretty decent. 315 on the intake and 220 on the exhaust.

You will see a little bump in hp from porting, but remember the 853's are the Worst heads out there. If you are on a budget save that money get some 243's and have them ported. Much better results.

Plus one on the 243s. You can pick those up for cheap.

Nothing wrong with ported 853's with larger valves.
