Ill agree CNC is good and software has come along ways but a good competent person doing the heads should be able to use a flow bemch and meter the heads accordingly aswell.

CNC less work than hand obviously too no disputing that either.

I am choosing to wait to have heads done when the motor gets built. I will go the CNC route. If you do it now, It will get real interesting... Do it so I can see your results! lol

Hahaha!! I'm not sure if it's in the budget right now. I'll call FLP tmrw and talk to them about it a little. It may be something I do later maybe next year or something depending on the dollars. I'm really wanting some weld wheels right now but porting the heads while I have it up there would be nice. Any idea on cost associated?

Id send them to the dude i linked threads to on the 1st page.

It would cost less than say JPC or other vendors and he'd provide flow nunbers and all.

Hes out of Texas and has done some heads for Boostworks too.

Oh nice! Good to know. This is my first car I've ever "built" so I don't know crap from apple butter. But I'm learning. It's a whole lot different than building sport bikes. I got out of the road racing scene a couple years ago. And I've wanted a mustang for 15 years but couldn't pull it off with a shop full of bikes. And racing if expensive, I don't miss it a bit

Me 2! Probably a dumb question here, but when you port and polish factory heads can you retain the factory valve train or no?

I didn't realize they ported OEM heads. I have owned a set of their ported heads for one of my vettes... very awesome numbers.

I can't find much info at all on the forum on porting heads with a NA build. I dropped my car off this morning at Finishline Performance for a NA build including comp stage 3 cams,cobra jet,and a bunch of other parts. I got to thinking on my ride home if porting heads would be a good thing to go ahead and do now or if that may be something for the future. Depending on the overall cost and turnaround time it may be something for later on down the road. I'm wondering if anybody's ported their stock heads or what kind of money I'm looking at. All input is greatly appreciated!
