Like this 350 vortec build??
I think I got my set up now. Here's what I plan on doing. I have a 91 camaro rs with a 5 speed and 3.08 gears. I have a L05 roller motor and plan on building on it. I'm going to get Vortec heads and port them out. Then I'm going to use a zz4 roller cam and rockers with roller tips. I plan keeping it TBI, so I plan on using a 454 throttle body with a eldebrock vortec intake. Should create somewhere around 350 hp.. What do you guys think? Keep in mind this is a daily driver.

Sounds like you have a good plan.
For the heads I would just clean up the intake castings a bit and not port them much. They already flow well enough for 350 stock. I would install 1.6 exhaust valves and clean the exhaust ports a bit because they are the weak side of vortec heads.

With Vortec heads, do not TOUCH the intake side, except to clean up the weird angles where the factory jammed their cutter down into the bowl; and any similar deformities around the guide or casting irregularities. DO NOT alter the roof or the shape of the port, it is well optimized as-cast.
As said, exh side is a different matter; no different from the same sucky exh port on all stock SBC heads. Do the usual to it, but don't go hog wild; there's not all that much metal there to begin with.
