    depends on how much for porting and can you afford it?

    it will give you more power and a raise of compression always favours a cam

    I would get new 105lb valve springs, reatiners, and collets, if I were you. Your factory ones will be getting on in life, and your going to be putting extra pressure on them.

    I have the MACE Stage 2 Comp Cam and ported heads in my car, and I'm playing with 148rwkw, so have fun.
