thats hard to say, it depends on a lot more than just port and non port heads. depends on the rest of the setup. but i would say u would see a 25-30 hp gain with well ported gt40 heads. thats just a guess though, dont take it to the grave.

Yeah I plan on having it dyno tuned when Im done. What would be better for rockers 1.6 or 1.7? Or do them heads come with 1.6's already?
