The work looks pretty good, but without having the heads in person and taking measurements along with flow numbers it's hard to say whether the port work was beneficial (in terms of useable power) or not. Like I said, I'm leaning towards not as beneficial in the areas that you spend most of your time in on the street. Porting heads will almost always gain you hp/tq up top, but it's the low and mid lift numbers that make a great head. Not trying to knock your work or efforts because I can certainly appreciate someone taking time to learn how to do that stuff and actually trying it on their own. Just sharing my opinion on the numbers that came out of the porting regardless of who did them.

same thing happened to my car, it still runs good though. You made a bit more power but the tq is almost the same, I was told my heads are too hogged out, and my compression is too low for my cam, result = low numbers.

Wow...looks like the motor wanted to keep going up till about 7k...I'd bet you pick up another 15hp spinning it that hard.

I don't care what the people said about low torque. I would love to have my torque curve go straight up then do a dome shape up to the peak and slowly drop off afterwards. Your HP line is great!! That sucker comes on and keeps on coming. You probably could pull a few more ponies by spinning to 7k but why risk spinning a bearing. You got a bad *** car!! I am going to pm you about something you may be interested in...........
