Porting intake, heads and plenum

Ok guys got a low mile vehicle here. Ive got a SLP cold air box and runners.....they are semi stock factory kinda as in available from the dealer back in the day. Looking for some SLP headers.

Want her to look more or less stock under the hood. Used to be a guy on youtube and Facebook who specialized in TPI porting. Heard he has quit so who would you recommend ?

Of course larger valves and bowl work and probably deck the heads for a little more compression. That I have a friend to do.

If you guys could recommend a porter ? Id appreciate it.

Some nice iron heads that wouldnt require all the porting and valve bowl work would be great too ?
