Hey, I am new to this site, and the only major question that I have at this time is as follows: If I were to get a port and polishing kit, would it be smart to do it myself, or just spend the extra cash and have it professionally done?

 

Have you ever done it before? Porting and polishing isn't rocket science, but it's not something that anyone can pick up and get right the first time. You might want to look for a picture step-by-step of how to do it before considering the DIY route. If it were a header or intake manifold, you'd probably be able to get away with doing whatever you want to it, but the flow characteristics of the head - especially in the combustion chambers - can be easilly interrupted if one doesn't know what they're doing.
