Vortec head ported pics

i squared up the intake ports and shaved the sides off for more flow its opened up ALOt more, everythign ont he inside is smooth and polished, any imperfections were grinded out. the exhaust ports were squared up also and the "corners" were shaved off so the air could flow around that corner better. the velave imperfections were gorunded out, theres virtually no where for air to stop flowing .. eveyrhtins polished, but what type of gains should i expect form this.. my engine setup is in my sig. thanks alot and the pictures are good qual, but doesnt show the whole "shabang" looks worse int he pics then it does IRL.
