Default Head Replacement / Fix Thoughts?

So... with all of my mods, this year I was thinking about doing the heads on my car. Before I get flamed for not porting my heads, when I did my cam I originally didn't plan on building it to the point I have now. So with that being said I've been looking into heads for my car vs having them ported. While doing so I ran across this video from Katech talking about how our factory heads have issues. Also, my local speed shop said that factory castings are porous and they ran into enough issues where they pushed coolant through. What does everyone think about the news on these heads, did you run into any problems with yours / what did or are you going to do?
