I'd say you definitely lost power going from the 317s to the 241s. The 317/243 is simply a better starting head than the 241. I looked into getting a set of cheap 241s worked over but WCCH said they got rid of their 241 cnc program several years ago. On a stock LS1, swapping to 243s over 241s is a 13-15rwhp gain. Swapping 241s for the stage 1 LS6's gains 50rwhp.

edit - I see it was an iron head motor.
BTW, just so you know, if you can come across some 317s cheap, TSP will CNC port them, mill them and re-assemble them for $650.

I woulda hated myself if you finished before me tho haha
