Depends on what stage port. I'm getting a stage 3 port and should know numbers in the next few weeks.

I increased my bore size from a 2.0 to 2.1 on the block and since I had the stage 3 port job I had to get the head deck so I went dip below the 9/1 compression. Swift charges lots of money for there port jobs, around 3k just for the port due to intense labor since he does them by hand. Swift is looking into a 5 axis component for the CNC machine that will help reduce the cost of the head work. Let me know if your interested and I can hook you up with Swift.

Thanks for the info guys but hey 3k for a port job is way out of my reach. For that price getting a turbo is better.

Yes. Since Dyno days there is a minimum amount of peeps that will attend the days activities. I will ask Mo, at swift, the usually rates for 3 pulls.

You ask for manifold porting and I gave you a site with better prices. Did you go to it? There designing a new manifold that flows as good if not better than itb's.
