so in a nutshell, the heads are being worked but not hogged out. if i do decided to move up to a 6l then the heads will still be plenty good for that motor as well.

i haven't looked much into it as far as comparing stock 317's vs what i am having done. maybe someone that knows a little more about the 317's will chime in am enlighten us.

317s flow a little less stock than what you are having done (which is almost exactly what I have done to mine). The big problem with running 317s on a N/A 5.3 is the 72cc chamber. You'll lose a lot of compression with them, which would be great for a boosted application. Flyer actually ran 317s with his Radix.

i'm sure doing that would help as well as running a thinner gasket. i wonder about the chamber size and what effects it will have though. i'm a noob when it comes to cylinder heads and all that so i'd really like it explained if someone don't mind.

Just going by may experience, but the porting of my heads brought the chamber volume up from 61cc to 65cc, then they were milled .045, which brought the chambers back to 58.8cc. That was the max that WCCH would mill them without fear of intake manifold fitment problems. I'll also be running a Cometic .045 gasket. This will put my SCR at 10.02:1.
A stock 317 head has a 72cc chamber, so it would have to be milled way more than .045 to even get it back to a stock 5.3 head chamber volume so you wouldn't loose compression. I don't see them as a viable option for a N/A 5.3, no matter what has been done to them.

but i'll state this again, i am a noob when it comes to cylinder heads and we have way more technical people on the board that could answer that question. but i don't think compression ratio hurts nitrous like it can boosted apps.
