A word of advice on OHC engines that is true from the first and remains true to this day.
DON'T MILL THE HEAD!!! changing the thickness of the head changes the timing chain length and therefore the timing. it also makes the tensioner run further out in its travel these are known to have problems so why risk it. If you want to raise the compression change the pistons but don't mill the head.

A good porting job will net you some power but this alone will not be the end all mod.

personally my advice would be make a plan of what you want power wise. make a budget as to what you are willing to spend and stick to it religeously.

You say you want 240-260 hp ok there is an easy way to get that but it requires some restraint on your behalf. Basically take all the money you were going to buy this mod or that one and save it up for the GM supercharger. It will get you in the ballpark HP wise and be much more reliable than No2. the supercharger is compatible with your stock bottom end and you won't have to touch the engine internally at all. the price is not that bad. $22-2500.

compare this to headwork and cams and intake and.............. the supercharger for the power it makes is DIRT cheap.

ported head
balance shaft delete
cams
intake
header of your choice with full exhaust
lightened flywheel
upgraded clutch
LSD
msd ignition
hp tuners

should be around 170whp or so I'm not sure... I have the same plan for my car just before I go boost but without raising compression with wiseco or comparable pistons you're pissing in the wind
