Good luck with your build...

Have you found out if you can go with bigger valves or are you port/polish only? I haven't made it to a machine shop yet to find out

With a little money anything possible. But there's really only room to enlarge one valve. So it wouldn't really make sense. Having them bench flowed is about the best you can do. Am I right?

well, todays society has to remember, not everyone has to confide to their needs and they may have to do what the majority ( people older than them) request/tell/advise them. if youre 16 and expect everyone to hand you all the info you want to know... wake up friend. hit that search button and get going like the rest of us have. no offense but im sick and tired ( as are most of us elders on here) of answering the same repetitive questions over and over again about "how can i get more power out of my 2.8/3.1 whatever. get up and search like the rest of us w/ more than 100 posts do.

and if anyones mad at me, IM me or take it to the mods. sorry to take it too far for my fellow companions.

not me personaly yo. I was speakin in character. I've had to make my own parts and crap for my cutlass. my flex fan spacer, my solid motor mounts, and air cleaner are all me built. and my car has no bump bump yet cause I have more pressing issues I need to take care of....like reverse comein apart, and some play in the rf lower ball joint.

ya know search isn't where noobs should start. a book is. get an under standing of how to make power......go to the book store and grab that 101 performance tips book. I mean alot of it is common sense and the other half is trial and error....
