Is it worth $300? I am considering getting my heads ported and polished and I was wondering how much power can I expect? I have a comp 212/218 cam installed already. I can get it done for $300 dollars from a buddy of a buddy. $300 worth it? Thank you for you replies and opinions.
P.S. They are 5.3 heads.

Re: Is it worth $300? To answer your question it depends on if they know what they are doing.300 bucks is a good price though.

Re: Is it worth $300? Yes he knows what he is doing. He has done at least 2 dozen LS1 and LS6 heads. He normally ports them for more money (he makes a living doing it) but he will do it on the side for a favor.

What compression ratio are getting, and what do you have now?
