GM's #823 rectangular port casting has decent potential out of the box. Our 260cc Budget CNC option is a great choice for guys who would like to realize most of the potential gains available with the 823, but are not inclined to port the casting to its ultimate potential. This additional gain is attained via fully CNC porting the exhaust runners, and CNC machining the valve seat & bowl area of the intake port. The remainder of the intake port, and the combustion chamber are left as cast. Combined with our high end CNC valve jobs, precision valve grinding, and milling, the head is bumped into the 600hp+ potential range. Typical gains for this option are in the
20-35rwhp SAE range over the as cast 823.
