I'm wanting to get my heads and lower intake operated on this summer. Including rollers and lager valves, as well as mass air. Any input on a good shop, and on numbers difference(MPG, Torque/HP, etc.)
Thanks

Hi Nick,

As for porting GT40s here's my 2 cents... To be completely honest with you I wouldn't spend the money on porting GT40 heads.... It will cost about $800 to "fully" port them and when there done they "might" flow like a good aftermarket head does out of the box... IMO, It would more cost effective to buy a set aftermarket heads and sell the heads you have now... As for the lower You could send it up to Fox Lake in northern Ohio, They charge $375 to fully port the lower or have it extrude-honed for $350... With heads, ported lower and mass-air I would guess around 50-60hp but since you mentioned mass-air you might as well throw in a bigger cam while your at it! With the right combination of these parts 100+hp is possible it would depend on how much you want to spend and how racy you wanted it... As for MPG forget about it! These trucks are pigs!

Marcus,

Virgins don't seem to last long around here... a couple of weeks of the NLOC UBBS puts all kinds of things into your head... Wasn't just a few years ago when we had virgins of are own? Man look at us now... Were out of control spending money like drunken sailors! I think its called Lightning fever... Jason Brown has a really bad case of this!!!
