Blackz51vett has your best advice above.
There are many vendors on this board that will port it for you - ranging in price from $100 to $150. Some are "mail yours in". Others are a "core exchange". You can find almost anything to meet your needs.
It is best to find references to their work. Do a search in the forums for that vendor and see what his/her customers have said about their work in the past.
You did not say who was doing it... but there are several excellent vendors on this board. but just like buying a house, or a car, or anything else, it is good to do research or get references on the finished product.

Quite a few including the one on his own 800rwhp 2005. Entirely built and tuned by SpinMonster. Heads/cam/nitrous/paxton 2200/gears/lev 5 trans/1000HP fuel system/meth injection/ported everything/and of course the Tractionmonster mod.
I assume the OP is talking about mine due to contact in PM's. He appears to be a tough sell.
Here it is center stage with the paxton 2200(16psi) with nitrous and meth injection and not a single code deleted in the tune because nothing needs to be band-aid fixed......from cats to airflow codes.
Why build a rediculous thing like this?.......to show I can.
Customers are pretty happy with the work.
Throttle bodies are ported and also made to look good with return shipping and PAYPAL fees paid all for 125.00
Cores available.

Hey, Rands22, how's your run now since Jeremy finished it at Keith's on Wednesday? I got mine done today along with a bunch of other things, as you recall, and I'm happy with it. Maybe we'll catch-up at Carlisle on Friday.
