DIY porting and polishing

I have a dremel that I have been using for a while on various projects. I heard that you can port and polish a good number of things in camaros. Is it possible to do any of this stuff by yourself and is there any guides to doing it?

What is a list of stuff I can expect to port and polish?

Okay, unofficially I myself have done my MAF, and the top of the intaake as well as my wheels. My MAF's i/d rivals that of Granetelli's so I saved some money there. but everything else is cosmetic. You can knock down the rough spots inside your heads but I don't know how well it would work or how bad you could mess things up.

You can try porting it yourself, do some searches you will find posts where there are some tips given. I personally would pay to have it done. Its an art-form and a skill. If just anyone could do it we wouldn't be paying big bucks to get them done right.

to bad you trashed a perfectly good MAF. i see your waiting on a S trim. you will be buying another MAF when you cant get the tuning right becuase the maf is letting in more air than it tells you it acctualy is.


and as far as the heads go, some have done ok. and have got ok flow numbers, bt were all the runners the same and flowing equal ro each other, dont it, if you dont have a flow bwnch how could you tell. some things are better left up to the pros.
