Default 853's to 241's? Worth it?

I've been doing a lot of searching on these and can't find enough info to help me out. I've got a 99z with the 853's on it and was wondering if I would gain anything by going with the 241's? If anyone can help me out I would appreciate it.

I really don't think it would be worth the money and trouble unless the 241's had been ported

exactly. swapping stock heads for stock heads isnt worth the time or effort. when your talking about ported vs ported i fail to see difference between them.
