I think Katech does CNC porting for $500 and turnaround is 7-10 days.

+1 for Advanced Induction. There are mulriple threads on here and LS1 Tech, where AI cut a set of 241's and made 400whp heads only, no cam.

Not to hijack, but high power from 241s would be quite the frugal improvement.

O.K., now we are talking a serious bargain. And they list 241s as a base option. Time for search and possibly a new thread...
