Default porting my heads...what do i need??

i have a spare set of heads that i want to work on.i have GTP S3 heads so i will be using those as a guide. i have a dremel, what bits did you home porters use? what about using some kind of lubrication during porting, is it necessary? any feedback will be useful.

get a 6" long carbit bit made for cutting aluminum and a porting kit. i get them through a Matco dealer but i am positive you can run over to shinberg (spelling?) tool company down on agnus st and pick them up.
