LOL...its not hard to do at all. Spend a night doing the research, buy the necessary bits, paper, compound, etc and go to town. Youll be suprised how nice of a job you can do. Plus, itll be nice to say you can/did polish all the parts yourself. Polishing stuff is nothing like painting....really easy in comparison.

I dont even know if that is worth $35. Doesnt do much good to open port mouths if the the interior still cant flow it. Good luck, sorry for calling scam...its more of a ripoff if anything.
Since you are so highstrung on my port matching services being a ripoff/scam then I will glady remove that portion of my website and no longer offer that service to anyone.
EDIT: Anything pertaining to Port matching/porting has been removed from my web site. You can look for yourself

On a sidenote, did you get scamed on ebay or an online retailer?

...WOA!

You folks are pretty hard on the guy. I think his prices are pretty good for Polishing...Polishing is pretty time consuming if you don' have the big game stuff.

Its all still there. Im not telling you to take it off you site. Go ahead and do that if you want for people...all im saying is that for the people that go through $35-40 shipping both ways, $70 for a set of felpro head gaskets...its just not worth the couple(if that) cfm gain. Most of the restriction in the heads is the interior not the openings. And FWIW...when I had my heads and intake ported the intake manifold ports did not needed any modification to be "port matched". Flow tested...i only lost 3.71% cfm with the intake manifold on the heads vs just heads. Your not gonna get much less than that no matter what you do withthe LT1 intake.

I got ripped off via someone outside of ebay...who does happen to sell lots of stuff on ebay. Here is my post about it if you are that interested...it is/was resolved as of eariler today. http://web.camaross.com/forums/showt...5&pagenumber=1

Jesus Christ, thats the most childish attitude i've ever seen in my life. Looks like you do a good job polishing but what your porting is pretty worthless to anyone who knows jack.
Sorry to shake the cherries from your tree, but with that "i'll take my ball and go home cause you called me a name" attitude I wouldn't buy a ice cream cone from you.
