Edit: Maybe they think you want a port and polish?

Your getting raped.. i'd say fuck any of those prices.. if u can't find someone to do it for under 75 bucks.. then get some 1000 grit sand paper & a block & go at it for about 5minutes!
this thread is Ridiculous!

Well now I've got an offer for a pre-prepped head from DH-Racing This includes worked over milled valve jobbed swirl polished valve and assembled with springs.
He's also got a custom cam that he would sell to me. So with this stuff, what kind of tuning do I need if any? Do I need a cam gear? I'm still waiting for him to reply to me about these questions so we'll see how it goes. So as of right now, if I get this head then I won't have to get the current one machined which should bring down the cost significantly no?
What kind of gains can my friend expect with this along her Fake J's intake, DC 2pc header, RT high flow cat and 2.25 piping with a baffled muffler?TIA

Flatliner, appreciate the offer but the car's going to my co-workers shop for $500 to just replace the gasket. Maybe later in the future I'll contact you for the performance upgrade. Thanks again.
