S/E LT1 guys

I have come across several of the threads, some are pretty outdated so I wanted to start a new one and ask some questions.

I have seen the cars run snake eyes with a high stall stock everything with dr's. That aside I know the tricks with the lift and duration, couple that with the high stall and voila you have a recipe for success. Now what makes me curious and please be as clear as you can for others that see this, does the everlasting duration of those cams make them unstreetable?

Now another question is there are many head porters out there and their packages that get pretty radical and charge quite a bit, and those packages don't come close to the same numbers as what you guys put down. It is verified by several sources that stock headed, unported heads flow well enough for a 10 sec pass. So with that in mind how much goes into the costs of fine tuning these heads? What is a good estimate cost wise for a person wanting to join a class such as this to get their feet wet?

Thanks for the advice and insight!

Mods not sure if this is the right place, but I was looking to stay LT1 specific and encompass transitional usage from strip to street.

I've ported my own heads before (not lt1's) but thought of Extrude-Hone..
since they told me that they flow them before and after.
