Then you could sell your heads that you have now, so it be less cost than having somone port them.

Also, going with Speartech ECU (LS1 ECU), you will need to have someone tune it for you. The software that you have to use is HP Tuners. Not something that you can learn over night. So you have to find a person, that is specialized in tuning with HP Tuners software. I was able to get a former Wheel2Wheel tuner, Rich Gala.

To be honest, I might end up leaving my heads alone. My car is going to be 99% street driven and if I'm getting over 500hp at the flywheel, I'm sure I'll be very happy with that. As for Comp Cams, I already had one of their techs recommend a cam for me and everyone that has commented on the one they recommended all said it was a very mild cam. From what I understand, he works with Comp Cams and when he does a cam recommendation, Comp Cams gives you a discount on the custom grind. As I stated above, he's is highly recommended at LS1tech and everyone that I've read about that used his cams are very happy. As for Speartech, other than them costing a bit more, I haven't heard a bad thing about them either. Even Mike Norris recommended them on a thread I saw. As for tuning it, guess I'll have to chance it that someone local can tune it.
