Porting Heads. Suggestions Welcome

honestly, unless you know what you're doing, and have a flow bench (and ultimately how the car accelerates) to quantify results, you're wasting your time. it looks shiny, but won't give you more performance - which is what you want.

i worked extensively on a port - port match, straighten walls, bowl work, short turn radius - only to have it flow no more than stock! and then an experienced porter (who usually works on v8), within an hour, achieved excellent flow:th_wtf:. there's a reason we pay porters good money for the results they give us. taking a course to learn to port properly costs thousands of dollars.

^^^ so just pay a shop like dover to do them? im asking because i have to do headgaskets and might as well have heads worked while the check them

^^^^ i know a great race shop if you wanna go that route. dont know about prices tho....

is it scotts machine shop in fayetteville ga?

coupe performance in dallas.

i have heard nothing but great things about there work. best around so i hear.

ok cool, i just called the shop here and they said dont waste your time pnp heads on 3.8 its no power to be gained if not an all out race engine. so i guess pm info please....

oh thats in covington?

yea them, top notch place.


and there is ALWAYS a gain in p&p heads, if done correctly. even people that take a drimel to there own heads pick up gains.

ok cool i wonder what the ticket runs for lol, im scared to call and get a number i dont feel like paying smh im broke until my number falls lol(i be a lotto stud then)

yea i dont know what prices run, but if i was to pay someone it would be them.

im porting my own heads, but for the valve job ill probably send the heads to them.

yeah the valve job is normally 300ish. i wish i had balls to pnp my own. i think i might just leave well enough alone lol
