  450 for JUST polish,, DAMN, he could at least do it for port at the same
  time

  I have a guy locally that will do a race setup, and includes over-sizing
  valves, 7mm stem sodium filled valves, titanium sleeves, HD dual springs,
  hardened cam (cryo I think) with choice of 278-290 or 302 cams , complete
  port and polish (over-sizing of intake exhaust ports (requires you to
  provide exhaust and intake manifold you wish to use with the head you
  provide.  895$ everything flow benched, he promises 30-50HP out of that head
  in power increase. Includes all NEW internal parts btw.

  I think that guy is selling a lot of nothing for mucho dinero (because he
  gets his own heads)

  ->Short, but can you blame a man answering an IM on the 'tex?

  ->So I emailed him today (go to the bottom of this post) and
