[QUOTE="Gearhead2012, post: 831131, member: 12934"] This is my first post here, I post over on the org semi frequently. There are gains to be had, but without the proper equipment its risky. I do machine work for a company that builds a few hundred 6.0's a year, I've done a few sets of heads on the side, and very mild port work on a couple. I don't claim to be an airflow expert....but I have had a bunch of people ask me about it. I'm working closely with a professional race shop complete with flow bench, sonic tester and world records to so for their 25 years of porting experiance. M goal is to develop a repeatable port profile, with flow data and dyno results to get proven gains, if there are any...and as bad as these heads are from the factory I'm sure they can be improved upon...but like cutting edge and others mentioned the castings don't have a ton of meat to remove copious amounts of material...plus the castings are very inconsistent as I learned the hard way once. Hence finding a shop with sonic wall thickness tester lol. More on this to come, I'll post about the progress and results on here and the org as things develop...but I'm trying to keep the port work economical....that's why its taking a while...trying different port profiles and the worm involved to get it there...basically testing gain vs cost. Also, forgot to mention that I spoke with Andy warren when I was buying my trans from him, and he said they used stock sized valves, but fully ported Jesse's heads, and along with a cam picked up roughly 100 HP at the wheels, so there's gains to be had.
