Sometimes free ends up costing you money. If you want to port your heads have it done by somethat has a proven record. Any one can machine. it takes talent to port.

This shop has done plenty of LS1 heads, I wasn't aware my grandfather grew up with the owner, so I know for a fact its not going to end up costing me a dime, and its not ust some random shady shop.

If they have done heads before. I would recomend :
2.02/1.57 valves-Brand your choice.
Springs -Comp dual springs
Small port work go for the high velocity
Mill the heads a little bit.

yea I was thinking that but not those springs, and 215 intake runners, I may not be going with as big of a cam as I though since I am going FI after all.
