Send them to Higgens.
I rang them up and insted of getting whole new heads they will port your orginal one.
To just get them ported will cost you around $1500

Can't comment for a kw gain as i changed from a 224/244 cam to a 239/247 cam but my heads were hand ported by a guy in adelaide and milled and the car has really good manners down low for a big cam 11:7 comp helps, had to flycut pistons to fit the cam as the clearence is tight

I am going for a stage 7 VCM cam, with OTR with the MAF sensor. I have a full X-Force exhaust that has been modified. Going for the billet shifter and full MAF tune, shuld give me about 320RWKW by the end.

As anyone, I always want more.

I may have missed something but you say you will end up with 320RWKW??? yet I thought you were already at 329rwkw, spending more to get less kw's

This was before the cam went in, I ended up with 329rwkw, then put stepped headers and 3" exhaust and got to 334rwkw, need to go 1 7/8" headers, heads and bigger cam, am chasing the 360rwkw with 22" rims

Hey wooddy, I have already offered it to someone else, as they want my old headers too, but it will be a little while before it is done.
