just a quick question, is it worth porting out stock 5.0 heads and upgrade roller rockets.

no its not worth it. The "rockets" should help though ![[Wink]](wink.gif)
It would be more cost effective to look for a good set of used aftermarket heads.

i don't think he means worth it as in money wise, cause he'll probably get a nice ass price for the porting, but whether it's worth doing it for hp while keeping the stock heads

if you can get a good deal on ported heads or know how to port yourself, then i say it is worth it...ran 12.7 @ 108 full entirior 90gt mustang, with regular bolts ons and slicks(on stock home ported heads)...

If you are on a tight budget then pickup a set of used GT-40 irons. They can be had for between $350-$500 a set.
While you are at it add some 1.6 RR's and an E303 cam.
