228r cam/Head Combo questions
I don't wanna stay with the 241 heads. I think it'd be a waste of money to get them ported and done up. My plan was to get the 243/799 heads and get a valve job and some port work done. I can't go crazy because I don't have a ton of money but I am fairly certain that if I get some mild port work and a valve job I would exceed the performance of a set of fully ported 241s. And it would make it a whole lot easier to do a head and cam swap all at once rather than pull off my 241s and send them out. Just my .02

I'd get the 241's done up, but that's just my opinion. Advanced Inductions ftw. Heads are not the area you go cheap!
I can get a good deal on the heads and I'm not getting them all out full ported but even a little bit of porting and a valve job would still be a few hundred under the $1000 plus that it'd take to do the 241's. And like I said I wanna do this all relatively quick, so I won't have time to pull off the 241s and send them out for a couple weeks and its certainly not worth buying another set to me..
