I agree.
One of the resons why I am waiting next year to drill out heads is because the cam I choosen does great with stock ports. When I decide to step it up another notch, Ill get a bigger cam that will take advantage of bigger ports.

This is what I was afraid of.
So many choices that my head is starting to hurt. I have a lot of thinking to do, and checking the budget, before I get into this.
Thanks for all the input.

If you're gonna bore anyway, you might as well go to 107. It's not gonna cost any more, and you'll get 4 more inches.
