Yes it is worth it to port the 241 casting heads. exact HP #'s I can't say, but depending on who ports them, they flow well.

Dude, you cant just ask for gains. They range from 5 HP to 40HP or more depending on how god your head porter is and how well they interact with your current mods. Youre far better off having a reputable LS1 shop port them out rather than having a local shop do it.
