DIY porting with SA porting kit questions--quick, pls: I have to order stuff tomorrow

Can I use the SA porting kit with a dremel? I know that it says not to on their website, but it's not very clear as to why.

Has anyone done this with a dremel.

I ask because I'm hopefully getting my headers Saturday. I don't have enough $$ to get them coated, but as my car won't be going to the track often (read maybe a few times in its lifetime), I don't really care. The headers are SLP, but just to make sure that they stay nice for a long time, I'm going to pain them with VHT header paint, which I would like to have ready to go when they get here.

I would really like to order everything I'm going to need form Jeg's for a while all at once and avoid multiple shipping fees (see what I mean about lack of funds--college will do that to you).

If I can't use the SA kit with the dremel, I'll buy comparable dremel bits.

Thanks a lot

My guess is that the stuff might not be as high of a grit, and could take longer to do a port job...? I think http://www.eastwoodcompany.com sells a home port kit for use with a dremel...
