Default Best Value Head Work

What's the best value on head work, or what's the cheapest yet decent place to get your head worked on?

I know portflow is one of the best but can't afford one.
Bullfrog kindda died out, any opinion anyone?
and how are those jg heads? i heard some bad stories about them.

I just need a fun head to drive around, nothing extreme.

[QUOTE=MugenGTR]who said i needed a head for turbo? i didn't say about about turbo? is someone gonna buy a turbo for me?

Thats what I was thinking but the others on the thread seemed to think that you are going turbo. IMO if you are going to be in the racing scene for a while I would recommend doing it rite the first time. Do not waste your time with a cheap port. Both Alaniz and portflow do outstanding work for N/A hondas. Good luck.
p.s.- I also heard that lucky max opened his own shop. I have been hearing nothing but good stuff from him lately.

I wouldn't go anywhere claiming to take 2lbs of material out of a port-seems a bit excessive I don't take 2lbs out of some big block chevy stuff and there is alot to take out compared to honda. but that's just my opionion.Some Advice: make sure you go to some one who has some cars out there running fast and has a good rep with there customers(alanez,portflow,headgames)you can't go wrong when you do, when you stray away from this alot of people get burned and pay to much for to little.Good Luck!

Are you referring to Larry @ Endyn?

The only time I've ever heard of '2lbs of material' was with his ported Skunk2 Manifolds...I have one, and there's defiantely a good amount of of material removed...2lbs? I doubt it...There's no way he removed 2 lbs of material from any Honda Head though.
