Default Porting LS7 heads

Do any of the sponsors port as-cast LS7 heads?

Katech does, i have ported my own, and probably most of the tuners does.
But the inlet manifold is so restrictive that i chokes the unported heads a lot.
Even a heavy ported inlet manifold chokes the heads, so start with a sheet metal manifold, and you can go on from there if you need to.

We take the CNC-porting of the LS7 head a bit further with some hand-work. We do not have a program to CNC an as-cast LS7 head.

Jason that is the guy that posted that he had built a motor with Warhawk heads 2-3 months ago. Whenever anyone calls him out he never shows up again.
