Port job looks good. I would recommend the bump stop mod and maybe half the throttle blade shaft. The polish isn't necessary as it's only for looks. I take mine up to about 600 grit sandpaper and then bring out the polishing wheel and compound.

Very interesting. I used polish compound on mine. I guess I will have to pull it off and ruff it up a bit.

I've studied fluid dynamics and transport phenomena before and I highly doubt that the mirror polish is costing us any power (if any maybe .001 HP!).

for future port jobs that you may do if you buy a 150 grt sanding flaps that you put on a drill that will take all the little scratches out after the porting is done. Then I wetsand mine with 400 and then 1000 and then polish it. Yours looks alot better than my first one.
