Almost the same with GT40P heads, they are top notch from the factory and if your gonna dump bucks into them for porting, might as well step up to an aftermarket head.
I only paid about $150 for pocket porting and gasket matching from my machine shop. It was a few years ago but it was from an experienced head porter. Note I'm saying "pocket porting", not full competition porting of the entire port.
