They are ported, guessing the shiny comes from the CNC process. Gotta give that perceived value by making em pretty until they oxidize. On a serious note the heads cleaned up nicely and FED did a nice job.

Plugs are no harder to change than if the booster is on the left side.

I prefer the stock look in both the Pontiac and Vette with minor changes.

Appreciate it!
I actually have added a little bit of carbon to the mix and tge car is in the shop as we speak, we are installing a CVF polished serpentine system which should really turn heads.
we also converted all the hood hinges to polished chrome.
Ill add some new pics once everything is done.
