... I hear thoses are more expensive right? 
Ls1 vs ls6 heads
Any metal you remove from the combustion chambers will lower the compression ratio. Easy to get it back with milling, though.
Be aware it's very easy to create imbalances in airflow if you get crazy with the hand-porting. I only recommend polishing to remove the casting roughness in the ports for non-professionals (like myself). And flush 'n brush them thoroughly afterward to get all the abrasives and aluminum dust completely gone.
Leave the carbide burr to the pros who know what they're doing and can get all 16 ports to reasonably symmetrical volumes and airflows.

The LS1 exhaust port was also revised with the same goals: improve short turn radius and make cross-sectional area more consistent. The port exits were also given the pronounced D-shape that many racing cylinder heads use. The changes to the exhaust ports netted about a 10% improvement in high lift flow.
Well ive done a few other heads with no problems but yes I suggest if you havent done them before practice on some other head im gonna port and polish my stock head and throw them up for sale
Incorrect. 01 LS6s didn't have them.
243/799 heads were used on many cars/trucks. Not all had yellow springs.

All factory LS6 heads were 243 castings, but not all used 243 heads came from LS6 engines.
The OP was asking about heads that came off an LS6 engine.
