| I want to get my KA head ported since its already off and i want to do a 248/248 cam swap. Need to know of some places around here that do it for a good price and are reputable. I know there is a place in Monroe but i don't know prices yet.

Well since im not made of gold these guys are kind of expensive... They quoted me at $1k! . . . I paid 500 for the entire car. And have a little more than 1k in it with the all new parts. I can see paying that much for some headwork | |

| Bad news, going fast costs money. Head work is usually done last trying to squeeze every last drop of HP out of your setup. Spend your money elsewhere right now, your gains will be better with other mods. | |

| I second jim on this one. From what ive read the gains really do amount to nothing if you look at cost to hp gain.. The head flows pretty decent as it sits. your best bet for any head work would be a valve job. but that too is like a last step of the process type thing ... If anything i would invest some money into the handling of the car. Sub frame bushings or a decent set of suspension arms go a long way.. and if you have plans for any decent gains in power you may want to beef up the last link in the car where the power meets the pavement. just my .02 | |
