Port and Polish (not your usual question)

Ok, I am actually going to get a port and polish soon. I was wondering, how much do i want i guess ported out of the head (bored out)??? also, would I probably want to get a cam?

You need to specify, port and polish head, t body?
The cam shaft you should totally re-grind, mad horsepower even with the D17, slap a cam and it'll accutally do something.

well, I need to find a head and everything at a junkyard because my car would be down for about 2 weeks. I've decided that I will get the head and throttle body done, then the cam re-ground, get some of those denso plugs, and then get my ECU reprogrammed by jet

How much does it cost to get the head port and polished? Are there parts that you need to get?
