question for the engine nerds

my friend just recently got a job at his buddies engine shop and once he's done with the training, is gonna port my heads for free (sorta like a shop car i guess).

The intake is not worth the $ for the minimal gains. Ported heads depending on other mods, and degree of porting ~30hp. Mod motors were made for power adders, hence pushrods>mod motors.

any other day i'd agree, but its being done for free

get a bullet intake. the plastic ones are garbage. and then have the intake extrudihoned to the heads.

well this is where the "sleeper" factor comes in. i'm trying to make the underhood look as stock as possible
