Default porting and polishing heads???

ok, so its about time i did something about my stock heads. i was thinking either buying some new ones like trickflow or edelbrock heads, or maybe porting and polishing my old ones. what would the main differences be in doing this??? would they still not be as good as gt40 type heads???

i dont think it would be worth the money to do anything to your stock heads.

+1

I ported my heads when I rebuild the engine just for "experience/practice" it was cool for about an hour or two..... after 4 different days and about 16 hours of work i will never port stock e7 heads again. the SOTP gain was noticable but not worth it...
