Why should I go spend 300-400 bucks to get my head port and polish my head when I'm pretty much paying money for the work. Where as I can go spend approx. 50 for a kit and spend about 12 - 14 hrs to do it myself, take the extra money and put it towards something else.

I mean, I realized that I could mess up everything... but other then that. Can you give me any real hard evidence to prove that I shouldn't do this. I'm not working on a N/A or a Turbo car (yet) so it's not like I'm doing it to get everything out of the motor. I'm just doing it to get a little more performance from the bolt ons. That, and when I do finally get a turbo kit it's been done to an extent so I only have to get it done better for when I upgrade the kit.

It's just I don't understand where your coming from. Not trying to be rude any... just questioning your motive.
I agree with you ClassA. I did port & polished my head both on the intake and the exhaust side on a turbo car. As long as you stay away from the valve seats you should be fine. Take the extra money and use it for something else. Everyone has to start somewhere it's not like there's a school for porting heads it all trial and error. Many of the machine shops that I have spoken to said they just started porting head in theor garage and went from there. Don't be afraid we all have to learn some how.
