modifying the heads

how far can you modify the L98 stock heads? im trying to save money here and I'd like to do a lot of mods instead of buying new heads for over 1000 dollars. my hopes are to be able to port and polish the heads, increase valves sizes to 2.02/1.6 and have a lift of about 0.500
you think i could expect good results from these mods? how much would i benefit from just buying new heads? (weight advantages not included)

By the time you go get the heads done right, it probably would be more money than they are worth.

You can get better than Vortec flow by following my instructions, linked at the end of my sig.

But it doesn't help to enlarge L98 valves. They are pretty much optimum right now.
