It's going pretty good, but it's going to take a while.. I'm using a dremel.

wow, huge difference. I bet that sucks with a dremel! How much more are you taking out of that port?

thats pretty much it, now just have to do the other 15. It's not to bad, the dremel spins at up to 30k rpm.

I was under the impression that you shouldn't touch the floor? Raise the roof and not lower the floor.

How much power do you plan to gain from doing the heads? I have no clue what DIY head porting results are and wonder if its worth the time to do, or just send them to elliot or some one? Do you plan on dynoing after they are installed?

Another helpful tip...

Its more important to create a uniform port than a larger than stock port.
