Seems like a lot of guys do their own. Quotes I got were more than I could afford so I had to learn and do it myself.
What is your location, maybe there is a member near you who would be able to point you in the right direction .

Mike Graycar did mine, and its amazing. He's on here a bit. He ported and gasket matched everything, here is a pic of my runners. I have to snap some pics of the plenum.
Before porting

and after

Great work and a great guy. I have his e-mail address if you need it.

Hey, Stubbs, good to see you here!

Was he able to get all the way through, meaning the turn in the runner, its a real pita on my stockers.

He dropped it about 4 1/2 inches in. I can fit my hand in, all the way at the back you can actually see the split in the 2nd pic if you look closely.

It's scary how many boards I cruise, even import stuff as I've had a few of them, and I used to ride ricerockets as well, I'm everywhere, I think I spend more time on boards that I do sleeping

MIKEYGRAYCAR@aol.com at least I think thats it, I'm on aol and so is he and it just shows as MIKEY GRAYCAR to me so I assume its that plus @aol.com. If not I can call him to make sure, but try that first.
