Default Port heads or upgrade induction?

Can't do both at the moment. Which option would give bigger gains? Port my 243's, or switch to a fast 92/92 with an FTP lid and 85mm maf? Other mods are in my sig.

99 Pewter SS - 399rwhp 432 rwtq
Lunati Cam 227/228 .595/.598 112 LSA, 1 3/4" LT's, TSP x-pipe, 3.73's, yank 3600 stall, ls2 block, ls6 heads, ls6 intake

Heads without a doubt. We offer cnc porting to stage for $750, or you can get them setup with stainless valves in a size of your choice for $200 additional.

That will include cnc machining, cnc valve job, decking & reassembly to match your camshaft.

Typical gains are 40-45rwhp over stock LS1 castings.
