Hopefully, a couple of people have used them and had good success. I would get mine done next week for $180 on my 86 aluminum head L98 motor.

Not that I do it for a living but, I wouldn't even think about doing for less than 3 times that. That seems really cheap. I just did my base, S/R runners and it took me about 25 hours total. Its alot of work to say the least. If it performs as good as it looks, it'll be worth it!! Just my .02

I have ported some parts that I sold and it was pretty time consuming.
Just make sure they don't do the usual 'porting job' where they just eat away the extra meat behind the TB and that's it. I have heard of those 'porting jobs' from people...

The owner, Andris, is a good guy and an engineer. I have purchased a few things from him, not porting though, with no problems. I was also his road course instructor at an event.
