Alright, I have been reading up on these P&Ping threads. To sum it up, and someone correct me if I am wrong, there are no real big hp/tq gains to be made from P&P alone? Only one with aspirating mods like headers, tb, im etc...etc.. will gain from P&P and this gain is in the form of allowing those mods to work better...more effeciently? Am I right? Just curious.

That seems to be the case. Some guy I know who works at Midas said he could do a port and polish job. I bet I could get a sweet deal from him. Think it is worth it? And also is it ok to let a guy from Midas do such a job?

as for pricing...i believe the basic p&p job from RPW starts around $1200. i'm not really in the mood to check right now. as you increase from stage I - stage III prices will obviously increase. IMO, don't bother with a head job unless you are serious about tuning your car...this doesn't mean i don't think it should be done though i should have a 2nd enigne in my garage, this time, next year. that head will be getting some work done to it.
