Yeah but before you bought yours they were ported by a blind person with ALS.

Looks good! What sorta tool/ bit did you use to do it? What kinda heads are those?

Ya my AFRs looked clean and perfect fresh out of the box. If yours didnt look good Guy someone hacked them up before they got to you.

Mine are AFR 165's. I used a Dremel with a pencil attachment and various bits and a die grinder with 1/2" x 7/8" cutting bit.

That was just the "awesome" gasket matching that yielded the PO 12rwhp :rolleyes:

The pockets and exhaust ports were untouched. The machining grooves were so deep i could grab them with my finger nails.

I looked at your heads before I took them over and the face of the pocket and inner edge of the seat were untouched, this is what I was looking at in the pics, the most gains come from smoothing and blending that all into one piece.

Oh ok, thats how I ported my victor jr. Wasnt sure that would work with heads... very cool. I dont think I would have had the stones to cut into my heads like that.

Im very much a do it yourselfer, but on a pair of expensive heads... eek. :beer:

That's why I didn't go wild on them. I'm just hoping for an improvement over stock. I did less to the Chevelle and picked up 2 tenths so hopefully what I did to these will give me the same return or maybe a little better. I'd be happy with that. If they flow worse and I lose power that will suck and I'll just have to pick up some AFR 185's.

They're not smog legal that's why I would go with the AFR 185.
