port & polish

[killa03ex]

ok, I just bought a JE 12:1 piston, stage 2 hotcam, and a 450R carb and I was told by my friend who's putting my parts on for me that I should get a port & polish now or sometime in the near future. So my question is how much will it help me out and about how much will it cost me, thanks

From what I hear it helps out quite a bit, but I dunno what the cost would be.

if you know how to do it yourself.....about 2 hours of time on a friday night....lol
it really depends on who does it and how much the shop labor is....basically lookin at 1-2 hours at most shops...this is at a shop if you dont know how to do it yourself. you will gain mostly top end power and will help if you have a pipe and filter and jet kit. you wont see too much but it does help

i have a full DMC alien and a k&n filter plus everything in my sig

like i said....about 1-2 hours at most shops.. labor here is 52/hr....so 50-110 is a good estimate

I think it would help a good deal since you've got a hi-comp piston, better cam and carb and whatnot. Gettin the head flowing better would be the next step i think..
