Porting
Anyone care to reccommend a 'porting' shop? Specifically for plenum/base
and runners.....hopefully somewhere in Arizona.....Thanks ahead of time.

I dont know about the AZ area. Im pulling my S/R off in the next few days, and having it ported locally. I did get a estimate off of ExtrudeHone, for $679.00. But that was for a S/R. Your setup might be cheaper, but not by much I suppose.

Look for a local maching shop with someone who does heads.
Or look for someone who just ports heads and intake.
they are there, just have too look.
Its worth it if u can find someone who will do a good job for cheap.
Other than that, do it yourself or find someone on the boards near you who can give u a hand.
Its not hard, more time consuming than anything if u havent done it before. I've done heads intakes, runners and plenums. doing a whole set with air tools and all my bits still would take me the better part of a day for what I end up doing.
Extrude hone is expensive, but I can almost promise you, that thing will flow about as good as humanly possible when u get it back.
