head porting ok so i got my heads off because number 7 and 8 where blown on the head gaskets, so i got a machine shop who is doing the porting for me, hes charging me $200 for the initial work which consist of widning the runners and ports, bowl work, and 3 angel valve job. and said he could go deeper from their. is this a good price for whats being done, im thinking of throwing another 200 bucks towards them but i know they do excelent work with out killing your wallet.
Um same job is about a grand and up to whatever you want to spend from a place that specializes in lt1s. If he has never done LT1 heads before I wouldnt waste any money on it and take them to someone who does them right. My buddy did that with a company that wasnt familar with lt1s/ls1s spent 3grand and got 0 gains and we had it tuned 3 times to see if that was the prob. He was so pissed my stock heads and cam were much faster than his waste of money
