Default LS1 head porting around Ft.Worth

I've got the TSP T2, tune, and full boltons. I either want to have my 853s ported and milled or go with new set of heads. Who does quality head porting around Ft.Worth? I need to do some price comparisons between my two options.

Thanks

If you want to make power theres a guy in Burleson that does very good work but the price is on par for the work. If you are looking for bang the buck, weak port work..ive got a dremel, some grinding bits, and some flap wheels. Im sure I can get you a backyard port job to work. PM if you want the contacts for either.

Elliot portworks. He's got a sponsor tag on the main forum page. Did mine 5 years ago and fixing to do my FI heads for me.

I've got my heads for sale. P/P with 918 comp springs. Let me know if your interest. 241 heads I think.

You can keep your dremel to yourself. LOL. But thanks for the offer.

Appreciate all the feedback now guys. Keep'em coming.

It really depends on how much you want to spend. I'd use Chris or Yelvi if you are real serious.

I did my own porting and picked the heads up around 18cfm up top...and it gained CFM through the curve. I don't know a damn thing about porting..lol. So if budget is your deal, let that 1936 fella get his flapper on it.

You just have to leave a message and he will get back to you. Trevor is always swamped and works by himself. But he will call back.
