its the griding down and smoothing out of the inside of the head, and around the valves, yes it makes a ton of difference, especially on highly modded bikes, because when you port and polish a bike it lets you gain more air flow, gaining more power :macho

I do not want to start stuff but , porting can help or hinder you motor. if done right and matched to mods and riding type it will help alot. if done wrong you could lose power. make sure you know who is doing the job!!!
