I wanted to go with a Vic Jr. setup but I guess I could just port my Track Heats. Around how much does it run to get aluminum heads ported. I'd like to go from the 170cc intake to around a 190-200 and of course open up the exhaust also due to the supercharger and stroker I have. Any intelligent guesses or quotes. Thanks peeps.
How much did you pay for port work?

When I had my Performer RPM heads ported it was like 200 for the port work and 80 for the valve job. However the guy that did the port work is a very good friend of mine and gives me a discount.

Theres more to porting than matching the intake and exhaust ports to a gasket. I cant see a $200 port job being anything good. Probably some redneck with a dremel and a file 
Like rick said above, around $700 for a GOOD job with quality work to acheive your goals. greg @ xsrcylinder heads, ed curtis, tea and neil erickson are guys that, from the research i've done, are good at what they do. Ed curtis was a bit much for me and I have been told neil has very good prices. I think if I ever have my TW heads ported, i'd let greg from xsr do them and the lower intake. His prices were good for what I inquired about and a valve job.

Im not very intelligent and definatly not smart...but why not just get a nitrate coated titanium style drill bit....disassemble the heads...and drill / port away....it works....i did my intake this way......but keep in mind that this may cost you $7 for the bit and i am not a smart person.....however....you may gain / lose - hp / tq

oh and a good valve job is a good idea....but there will be NO gains over what it was before....hey its just reality guy.......sorryRick 91GT said:
a "competition" valve job - im assuming a 3 angle or 5 angle or whatever...only yields a better mating surface for the valves when they close to the seats and may result in very..very...very minimal h.p. but most deffinatly not anything that can be significantly measured.....
I port my heads for free
but i had a guy teach me
and no i am not talking about rolling the edges to meet the gasket i am talking about hogging them out all the way through and knocking the humps out were the valve is.
what do u guys gain by porting the ports bigger than the gasket but a JUNK HEAD when u break into the water jackets

Hate to say but your wrong......a good custom valve job is worth every penny, why do you think guys get $250+, the before and after is the proof.
