FAST 90 porting affect resale value?

I am about to take my prc 2.5r 5.3 heads and FAST 90/90 combo to LME here in town. They said they needed to port match it to my heads, which concerns me from a resale standpoint - would this not sell if i decided to sell later since it would only work with my heads, or am i misunderstanding?

Thanks!

It it's ported properly, it should increase resale value. Not all ported FASTs gain power, so choose your porter wisely.

I agree. With a good porter your in good shape. Some porters are more well known then others and their ports may work better as well.
Should hurt the resale value though.

I paid a couple hundred dollars more for a used Fast 90 ported by Tony Mamo vs. a brand new one in the box. I still saved a couple hundred and I didn't have to wait a few weeks to get it back from him.

Patrick G hit it on the head.
