If you don't want to answer this I completely understand. Any idea how much the porting is going to cost? No parts, just porting.

Contact PKMM, Paul can get you pricing if you're serious. He was a HUGE help in getting me casting.

I agree with you on this! However I'm glad we have the choices we do. It's a good time to be a Pontiac hobbyist but can relate to a serious racer getting fed up.

Dan has said the casting quality seems to be very good, which is a plus. Also things were moved around on this set and never hit water so there seems to be a good amount of meat in them to do whatever you'd like done. They seem to have loads of potential. Way more than the ProPorts which had issues with spark plug location and roof height.

Going to run same angle on both valves or slightly alter valve angles some? These sound like a much better head than ProPort
Good luck!

Very cool Jeff! It'll be interesting to hear how they do in that environment. Hopefully low .7 high .6 are in you're future.
