Default AFR 225 from AFR-do they need anything else?

I just ordered a det of AFR 225's for my TT project direct from Tony Mamo at AFR and I was wondering, will they be ok as they come or do I need to pay extra to have someone like TEA to port them?? Thanks.

direct bolt on out of the box . and there already CNC ported, you'd be hard pressed too try and improve on them while retaining there benefits.

Thanks guys, just want to demoilsh everything on the street.

As far as programming, I am going with a BS3

And for the tranny, I ordered the same tranny in Parish8's truck, a Level 5 4L80E from Chuck at Finishline Transmission so it should hold the power.

Now even though my engine will be powerful, getting it to hook on some M/T 10 ET's will be fun, I will probably switch to a slick at the track, maybe I need to back half the car??
