pring and locations
FYI, port & polishing along with valve jobs don't do much of anything if not done by EXPERIENCED professionals. I have yet to see a head job that was done locally actually make a difference that helped on a car I have tuned. In fact I have seen cars make less power then they were supposed to due to improper porting.
Leave your head ports alone & put your money else where. Honda did a heck of a job with the stock head casting.

Couldnt have been said any better...If you really wanna have yer head P&P'd send it to like port flow or something of that nature.

Concerning sleeving, boring, stroking:
Use the stock stroke (crank).
Use aftermarket rods such as eagle or manly etc.
CP/Wiesco pistons (9.0:1 c/r if turbocharged)
Use golden eagle sleeves (84mm for turbo) (who I would use).
Use arp head bolts
Use oem bearing/oil/water pump

I do agree that an LS head is not worth porting unless it can help in the race class one is in.
The Type R Prep port n polish that David Green did on my B16 head with the valve job, head work that was done by Extreme Performance in Stuart, FL along with the head/intake/exhaust package I used made the power difference in my LSVTEC.
He also did some port work on a stock B16A engine for a guy who didn't have a lot of money to put into his car just to see what a difference would make. I went for a ride after and the car picked up a lot of low end torque and through the mid range. A stock B16A with low end torque? Yep.
Flow rates through the head can be measured so therefore a PNP job is worth it and even more so when the rest of the head is done properly.
For PNP work: David Green 321.632.6558. Referred by Angela. He also built an LS Turbo for a guy up in SC if you would like to ask him questions about the build you can call him.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

I have tuned over 400 honda/acura vehicles, everything from sohc all motor setups to k-series turbo setups.
I can attest to 90% of "ported" heads not making a difference or actually hurting performance. Why? Improper porting jobs/sloppy work. Bigger is not always better etc.
About 10% of the vehicles that come in with a "ported" head job actually make more power. They are usually heads from portflow and alanz.
To the OP: Unless some one has a flow bench & tons of spare heads of the same casting as yours laying around to experiment with, I wouldn't even bother letting them port your head.
