Default Ported E7's

I recently came across some E7TE's, I was wondering if it would be worth it to port them and put them on my car engine. Anyone know what kind of horsepower that'll get me? Any tips?

You'd be better off with some GT40's or GT40P's (iron heads) if you're looking for something cheap (pricewise).

I got these heads for free, you cant get cheper than that, i was just wondering if it was worth my blood sweat and tears to learn how to port 'em myself and put 'em on. Or should I just wait till next summer when i can get an HCI kit.

Do you feel confident that what your actually do to the heads will make more HP? Anyone can grind away material, but not everyone can make it work well. Flowbench or not..

Not really worth it, put mine on a dyno after porting them and laid down only a cool 207 RWHP...pics
