cleaning up heads...

Word on the street is that Machined port work isn't so great... So how much of a benifit is it to have heads that are Ported by machined...touched up by hand? Is it worth the extra $$$'s?

You forgot the playing card and clothes pin in your sig.

The reason why hand ported heads usually flow a little more is because the porter can actually take them out to their maximum potential. A CNC machine is programmed to only take so much because all heads aren't created exactly equal so they leave a safety margin. Is it worth it? Depends on your goals.
