can our LFX heads be ported? if so whats the normal porting service charge for this kind of work?

I was wondering the same thing, and adding to that, how would you get the best results out of that work, if it can be done, with such a small outlet on the head?

Any cylinder head can be ported.

Idk man I don't think anyone on c5 has tried to port the heads yet, I'm sure there are gains to be made

How much do you usually charge for porting services?

Currently rebuilding my lfx and looking at the heads will show that it would be incredibly easy to port them. Tons of meat to be shed.

tons of meat to be shed, maybe, but would it be at the cost of exhaust and intake velocity. volume is great, but a stagnant flow will decrease performance.

also how much meat is near cooling jackets where the water flows.

just some factors to take into account, depending on n/a vs a boost build.

The welds that hold the pipe to the header flange can be ground smoother. Also, the o2 sensor bungs are bulky and stick out into the pipe decreasing flow. They can be ground out smoother as well.
