what difference will a port job to the heads and intakes make? how much will the porting cost and is it worth it? thanks

 

I'll let you know in a month or two when I get my car together. I got some GT40s and they are being ported right now. 200$ for the heads and ~200 to be ported and decked.. gotta love being friends with the machine shop

 

yea u lucky a$$.. mine cost 900 bucks shipped.... granted i had a lot more than just a basic porting done... basically i got brand new heads

 

Bought the heads with a fresh valve job, and they were ported already.. Took them straight to my machine shop, having them checked (decked if needed) they are testing the springs to make sure it will hold my E-cam (guy said they are for .500 so we'll see) and its gettin a mild polish and clean up the exhaust ports a little more (already done pretty well)

 

yea i got new double springs up in... they were machined to work with my custom cam.... the i got a 5 angle valve job with new stainless steel undercut valves then its ported the hell out of and he ported the lower the hell of of too so it would match up....

 

so any estimates on the numbers? it seems that the porting cost quite a bit unless you know somebody, wouldnt it be better to get a set of trick flow or afr's?

 

It's worth it. You can get up to AFR165 performance range.

 

willeverything cost more than $600 including the purchase of the heads and intakes?

 

More than likely. I bought junkyard GT40Ps. The heads were $90, valves were $180, spring kit was $133, machine work was $125. That's 528 for unported GT40Ps...and I got the valve job done for free.

 

how much would it be for the porting?
