they have the old non pi style ports-but ported they will make more power than ported pi heads.

Houston Performance has two cars-one with ported PI's and one with ported SVO's-and the ported svo's make 40more hp.

Yes I do believe they are the FRPP heads, but if I also remember correctly they are pretty expensive.

The svo heads without being ported are better than PI heads. They are not a version of the non PI heads. If you have ever read about them they are 100% completely different. They are better and If I had the money I would buy them over the PI heads

Much cheaper to have you heads ported.

Ported SVO/FRPP heads for the 4.6 are the best options if $$$ will allow. --- as I remember

The problem with using SVO heads on a 99+ is reduced CR. Sure they are a better set of heads then PI's, but at a steep price and reduced compression.

For 99+, PI are the way to go.

I would have your heads ported because it would be a lot cheaper. If you have the money and you want to get the most performance out of your engine then build a short block with non PI pistons and svo heads.
