If you look around you can probably pick up a set of iron GT-40's for the same price it would cost you to have the E-7's ported, unless you are doing that yourself. Or even a set of E-7's already ported. I would think that porting the stock heads is a waste of money unless you have to keep them or you can get a very good price. The problem with the gt-40ps is that you have to buy special headers which makes that swap even more expensive. If you set your combo up right you can take your stock longblock into the mid 13's or better, which is faster than some guys go with $1000 heads. I'm a big believer in doing it right the first time. Save your money for what you want instead of spending it twice, once on porting the stock heads and later on a purchase of new heads. Just my.02
