gain vs all the work= not worth it unless you have a decent set of heads and cam to take advantage of the port work

Porting stock heads are a waste off time. I would atleast get some iron gt-40's first

I have seen many ppl port the E7's, tho personally I wouldnt do it.
The only reason I can see for doing this is if you dont have the $ to pick up a set of gt40's and are going to port them yourself. It's only costing you your time.

You can pick up a set of gt40's fairly cheap.
