I am wondering if you guys knew were i can get my heads ported at i was at first going to go f/i now i changed my mind i want to stick to n/a and i want to get my heads ported and get a set of cams put in. i called the guys at jdm and they said they will port my heads and put the cams in for $4300. Is this a good deal any other ideas on what to do besides that? any input will be great thanks..

Does that price include the cams? Is that porting your heads?

Does that include buying the cams, installing the cams, and PnP the heads?

I would say that is not a good deal even if it includes parts and labor.

If it includes new heads without a core charge it would be a super deal.

The way the guy told me was that if they ported my heads they could take some off of that price so im guessing that with that price it is new heads and yes it includes the cams and install of both things.

I would look at Livernois. you can get 2 different stages for half the price. So I don't think it would cost that much for cams. Here is there web site.

I had my heads ported and polished with new cams installed for 1,200.00 and I supplied the parts. I used a local guy.

Heck, the cost to have a set of castings done by a top guy for our race car was only $3,500. I think the price they quoted may be a little high. Do you know any local speed shops that you can talk to? I know we have several people that do our heads locally and you can probably get a better deal.
