Gains from porting stock heads w/stock cam?
I was thinking about having my friend port my heads on my car as well as the intake and TB.
I dismissed the heads/cam idea cause i would prefer to save my money for a bike and my paintballing hobby
Just curious what kinds of gains i would see.
Mods are in my cardomain. basically all bolt-ons and a 150 shot.

Yeah but i decided not to go through with it. I really want another bike. 
And if i did the heads/cam i was gonna do the bottom end as well, maybe next summer. But i want the bike this winter.

I was wondering the same thing. LS1 guys do it all the time on stock cams and have impressive gains. Im just wondering if any1 has done it with the lt1 and all the bolt ons...

We should take bets on the gains Id bet atleast 15-20rwhp
Hell my car would gain that just from a little tuning
10.3 and 10.8 a/f ratios last time i dynoed

thats what i like to hear. hell if i listened to everyone else i would still have my stock throttle body, no electric water pump, a cold air intake instead of using my ss airbox, no true duals and i would have sold my shorties for long tubes. but it all seems to be working so i'm not changing.

As for your true dual comment, are you for or against true duals? I got confused.
And i really really want an new TB, preferably a monoblade

Speed and Machine in Everett Wa ported my friends heads, intake, and exhaust manifolds and he took it to the track and pulled a 13.3 @ 106mph...
Other mods include CAI, borla, AF, Maf, off-road pipes.
If a monkey isn't doing the port job and you have them do your intake and exhaust manifolds, the results will be well worth it!
You will get the best results if they back cut your valves too
