D17 or K20 Port Work Anyone?

For anyone who didn't see this on the other forum. This is a pic of the changes your head will go through when sent to us. $750 a head, group buy is available for anyone who takes interest in it. This is what the head will recieve.

Full Street/Race Port Work
Hot Tanking
Cylinder Head Resurfacing
High Flow Polished Valves
Polished Combustion Chambers
Gasket Resurfacing

Expect Huge Gains!!!

Notice Mike Improved In His 1/8 Mile By 7 Tenths and I dont even think he cut his best light.
And i got off of it and hit the brakes before it got past the 1/8th. I just didnt believe that it made that big of a difference, so i thought something was wrong. lol. After days of being in awe, i finally accepted the fact that the head made that big of a difference.

This port work would be a lot more indepth then the SOHC port work on previous generations. Let me know anything else you need to know.

Nope you send me your head, and I port it and do a whole lot of work to it and send it back. It would come back better then brand new. Turn around time is about 3 weeks.

Uh Oh! Got a little bit of trash talking in here. I will do a 1/2 deposit on the head meaning the other half I will keep. So you would recieve $175 back when you return your head to us.

You might as well just keep your own head after you buy the core, you'll end up using it one way or another later on down the road anyway. You're not going to stop after just getting it ported and polished are you? You dont want a new cam in it later? Well, in order to get a new cam you need a core to exhange it with so think about it. The valves can be used if you ever bend any by some crazy chance, etc... I think I'll be buying a core from Josh

Or I'll be trying to find a core on my own, either way I'd like to have an extra head sitting on the side.

It's all about convenience. I am going to drive to pick it up, it would be a brand new. Im doing all the work on top of doing the work to it, and all. Then you could sell the head you have on the car now locally or to some kid for that amount easy.

3 Weeks is long? Maybe for you being without a car I can understand, but what more can you expect 2 weeks from the time it gets here to fit it in, get it ported, and do all the work we do to it, and have it shipped out. It's not a simple task, we don't take shortcuts, so it takes time. Plus we are competiting with 100's of orders at once right now.

Overnight shipping. We need the core or if you want us to provide it to you it will take some time. I will work with anyone. I already stated first buyer will recieve $100 off.
