im actually in the middle of trying to get my money back. i bought them from ebay, and in the pictures they took it looked like they had been ported. the seller pulled some good camera tricks i guess.

That sucks man... Hopefully you get some dough back. IDK in my opinion you should stick with the tried and true for LT1 heads.. everything is pretty affordable.

Those look like some limp wristed idiot tried to gasket match them, if they were listed as ported you should be able to get a refund.

When I had a mild port job on my darts, they pretty much only focused on the valves. It has since been fully worked over.

What I do see is that someone took some time to polish the OUTSIDE of the heads, lol. They look all shiny! Very pretty but it does nothing for power output.
This is what I was talking about, there is more polishing on the outside then portwork. I'll sell you my LE3 heads that will work awesome for $850+shipping.
