You might just skin by if you pore them, but it might be rash.

LS6 heads have a smaller combustion chamber (higher compression, alittle more hp), also they have better intake and exhaust port designs for better flow and more hp.

a set of LS6 heads ported should be pretty comparable to an aftermarket set of heads, the best idea is probably to go with which ever is more cost effective.
also i've heard from a head porter that the difference between a stage 2 and stage 3 port job is only about 8 hp and about $200... to me that is probably not worth it, stage 2 should be fine.

btw: don't forget to take advantage of the search function of this website
