Cylinder head porting?

Worth it on these engines?  Money better spent elsewhere?  Sending my engine to Livernois and trying to get some ideas of where my funds would be best spent.  Not going for a crazy build, just want to do what needs to be done while it's there.  Any info is appreciated.

If you are going to have any engine work like that done, Livernois honestly would have the most experience with it, what works what doesn't.  Ask them, or ask the question in their vendor section here:

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

@SHOdded STOP STEALING MY THUNDER MAN! lol jk ;-)

Let's just say that SEMA will have some pretty awesome parts winning awards. Hang tight guys 8 more weeks or so...IT IS WORTH THE WAIT!

In my opinion porting / port matching is always a benefit if the engine is already apart. Flash is usually left from the factory and removing obstructions is always good.

What are you doing to the engine that requires it to be torn down?  My above post wasn't recommending the competing company, it was just a quick recommendation to build the thing to the hilt since LMS will be in it.
