Default Head porting

Ok so I have a set of heads from a 2000 mustang that I plan on installing on my car.

Along with the installation I plan on adding a stage 2 comp cam. I need to get a valve job, magnaflux, and a porting job. How much do you think I'll be spending and is there anything else you'd recommend I do?

this gonna be a daily? cuz the exhaust vavles are more likely to fail with valve jobs because the heat transfer isnt as good when you grind away some of the material off those exhaust valves

thats why you make the exhaust seats a little wider so the heat does not effect them

you should do a valve jom on the seats if you are going to replace the valves, they wont be as good of a seal if you only do one.

Sounds awfully basic but...new head bolts.
