With no cam swap? Depending on how good the heads are, maybe 30-40 RWHP. I haven't heard anyone actually do it though that I can recall.

A buddy has ported heads only, no cam. M6 car with 373 runs 12.5s at 110.

On a side note, his heads also flowed 289 at .600 Stock lt1 castings.

Mid lift is awesome too, as well as exhaust, just dont remember the numbers. The car is getting cammed as we speak, cant wait to see what she will run, mid 11s at least i think.

Dave smith did the heads, www.lt1dave.com , I want to say about $1600 but that included everything from machine work, valve job, bigger valves, and all new valve train components. Maybe it was 1800? I really dont remember, if really interested just email him and see whats up.

From what i have seen he welds on the heads, giving him more room to port in some areas where the stock casting is thinner, and hence, the more flow.
