Default Porting heads...

So i have a blown headgasket, now im thinking since i have my edelbrock performers off the car soon, should i get these heads fully ported and a 5 or 7 angle valve job? how much power will i see if doing this? would it be worth the $$$ ?

I'd figure out why you blew a headgasket on a N/A motor with fresh gaskets on it before you worry about improving power.

I think it was because I have o-ringed edelbrock heads and summit sent me the wrong head gaskets they were supposed to send me lockwire head gaskets but they sent me non lockwire ones so im thinking maybe that caused it?
