That is the cost for the porting. If you want the heads rebuilt, then that would obviously be additional.

There are not "quoted gains" but you can expect about 25-35RWHP depending on what other mods you have.... and that's a great deal.
I'm not sure what cam you have, but if you tell them, they can tell you if you can mill the heads or not.
It's too bad you don't live around here because they have the fixture to cut valve reliefs in the pistons without removing the pistons with perfect precision and only takes them about 1-2 hours once the heads are off the car...

You might as well just get these:

The 5.3 heads are about equivalent to the LS6 heads to begin with, and these are brand-spankin' new GM heads with a CNC port and flow numbers to boot.

I make 465RWHP and 400RWTQ on 91 pump gas on my LS6. Big cam, 102mm intake, 92mm TB, RH headers, dual 2.5 exhaust, larger injectors.
Peak HP at 6800rpms, Peak TQ at 4600rpms. Over 350RWTQ from 2800rpms to 6800rpms.

1988 951 with a 2001 LS1. I've enjoyed the hell out of it but it might be for sale soon.

Not bad, but the question is... how much power are people making with these heads.
I make 465RWHP and 400RWTQ on 91 pump gas on my LS6. Big cam, 102mm intake, 92mm TB, RH headers, dual 2.5 exhaust, larger injectors.

I heard about them on the Camaro boards, they've got a good reputation. Texas Speed also sells CNC ported LS6 heads, but the LS6 flow numbers are almost identical and naturally they cost a few hundred bucks more.

So... zero problems, good power, wide power band, cheap gas.

Oh yeah, if you've already got a good set of heads then $600 is a great price for CNC porting. If you've got a lesser set of heads or yours are in need of a good rebuild, then the 5.3 heads are a pretty good deal. Anyways, didn't mean to veer this thread off.
