Exhast porting can help for sure. I think the difference in if intake porting will be a couple of things. Who does the porting, (Same with exhaust) and the amount of boost necessary for the same power levels. Ported will require less boost for the same power.

Before I paid to have those heads ported I would know that the person doing them understands and knows that exact head. It has some really thin places under the valves when working the bowl area. Besides that I like to be comfortable with a head if I am doing it, or if it needs expertise beyond my capability I want to know the professional has a through knowledge of what works with that head.

A side note. If you are going to try to run a stud rocker Trick Flow has just begun making 7/16 Guide Plates for it that you will have to slot the left side hole appx .070 to make it work. Smith Bros has a 7 /16 .165 wall guide plate pushrod. You will need to drill the pushrod holes to a 5/8 size.
