I get the gist of the thread Rob but in my opinion dollar for dollar porting is a much better bang for the buck than a lot of other mods. And you can do a mild port job yourself with minimal tools. Just don't touch the floor unless you know what you're doing.
I hear ya brother, then again, not everybody has money for a porting of there heads. Nor the tools or the want/will/ know how or simply, the balls to grind on there only set of heads. All of that mentioned is all fine and good.
Save the money on bowl or fully ported heads and roll it over into a set of gears and a converter or cam? OR roll the dice you do not create a disaster and go slower, or worse yet, destroy the only heads you have.
Then where are you.
This thread is designed to help those go fast without porting the head. It's just that simple. Nothing more, nothing less. It's always easy to say what you said. The problem is not everybody is willing to leap into the darkness and then be behind the 8 ball or just simply stuck with broken, busted, ruined heads.
Help a MoPar brother out. There are plenty of people wondering out there.
