Question Best Hi-Port porters?

Not trying to start a battle or debate, just trying to be pointed in the right direction of the person known to be the most knowledgeable with these heads, it can be hand porting or CNC program?

Thanks in advance and Happy Holidays to all.....

SD has a good port even though they don't advertise it.

Also Jim Robertson comes to mind.

Second for Jim Robertson. I know he's had at least two sets go through his hands.

KRE, SDPerf and BES can make them go. I do not have experience with others.

KRE offers a 1075 hp NA option on their site. I'm not aware of SDPerf, BES or yourself offering more?

You know anyone with that engine?
Where did KRE's HP engines qualify in Tom's race at Norwalk?

I do not know anyone with that engine. What I do know is if KRE offers the power level it will deliver, I've been on their pump. Do you offer more power with their parts? I don't know anything about Tom's race.

What I do know KRE is the quickest Pontiac 1/4 mile with Pontiac power. They also have the quickest Pontiac powered door car on the planet.

What is your point?

Gaby did Ryan's Hi ports, BES would be my other thought.
Jim Robertson or Dan are also excellent choices.

Jim Robertson does nice work. See my signature. Keep in mind it's a pump gas street/strip engine with rockers/stud girdles and not a high compression race piece.

Why not lay down some criteria first for what the so called BEST is first, are we only going to consider the fastest et and mph per engine cid and car weight?
