I haven't wrenched on the car in awhile and was throwing around the idea of installing LT4 heads with LT4 Intake. Do you think the gains would be worth the time and effort?
Current setup:
350 block stock lower end
stock lt1 heads and intake
cc503
1.6rr
comp lifters
comp 918 springs
52mm TB
stock injectors
CA intake
BBK shorty headers
Custom ORY w/magnaflow and cutout
328whp before the exhaust was added.

I will most likely hold off for now and just wait to build an entirely new engine at some point. The current setup is pretty good and sounds awesome. Would love to grab a red C5 z06 but I really don't think I could ever sell this car!
Thanks for the input and yes I know I need some longtubes!

This seems to be the general consensus as far as performance is concerned.
Aftermarket ported>LT4 ported>LT1 ported>stock aftermarket>stockLT4>stock heads
LT4 heads/intake are usually stupid expensive too (for the performance), just as much or more than aftermarket heads sometimes, and definitely more than a set of ported stockers for the heads and cam.
