Default port and polish

ive been looking up port and polish and i cant exactly figure out how much it would benefit my car, for axample ...

"Street/Strip Port and Polish and Competition Valve Job
This includes porting intake and exhaust bowls and short side radius
Match intake and exhaust 36 mm into ports
Competition mult-angle valve job
Hand lapped & vacuum tested valve seats
Lap deck and gasket surfaces
Deburr, clean, and reassemble"

... it said that that would cost around 700 i think, but my question is, how would this help out my cars performance and is it really worth it?

what mods do you have? i'm sure that 700 can be spent or saved for something much better than a pnp.

Sorry..I meant port and polish is worth it...Paying $700 definitely isn't. You can do way more bigger upgrades for that much money. It all depends what your building the motor for. If you are going all out race, PnP is a must. If its not that serious than there are alot of other options for $700. Heck you could even just get yourself the equipment to do it yourself if you feel adventurous and willing and have money left over for some upgrades. (IMO)
