If done properly they could do great, If done poorly they could do worse than they are now. How much head porting experience do you have? I've ported heads before and I made the desicion to leave it to the pros as cheap as ported stock castings are now anyways.

a friend of mine got 14hp on dyno after porting the 241 and his cam was 228-230,but i think porting without bigger valves and closed chamber will not give a good result,compared to the time and effort are giving on it . thats what i think, i hope am right.
port them and go with bigger valves. I made 452rwhp threw a 12 bolt with 4.30 gears and a Denny's steel driveshaft with a set of ported and milled 241 heads with a 224/228 baby cam. I haven't seen a aftermarket H&C combo make more with that small of a cam. Not too say that it hasn't been done . Just trying to point out that a ported 241 head in the right hands can make the same or more power than a aftermarket head. If I had a stock rear with stock gears and a stock driveshaft I would have been over 470rwhp. A cam change is in the works to make 470+ with the same heads and drivetrain that made 452rwhp
Actually Jantzer ported the heads and milled them. I sold them to a buddy that was going with a 224 cam also. I made 360rwhp and 336 tq unlocked 4k stall converter. But it shined at the track though. You can see my times in my sig.
