Default Heads worth swap?? 806's for 241's??

Hello all, I got a 98z28 A4 with 806 casting heads. When I install a new intake (probably LS6) I was thinking about putting the 241's on. Is this even worth my effort?

No, the ports on all LS1 heads are the same. The only differences are the casting methods used. The later castings used a method that produced a smoother port. Once aftermarket porting has been done they are equal performance wise.

+1, there will be no gain if any. They are the same thing and will flow identical numbers with the LS6 intake.
