There is no head manufacturer out there that can replicate what a good head porter could do for the same amount of money. Get your's done to match the cam................

You are pushing the stone uphill and have been misinformed. Get on the phone and talk to some head porters; pick one and get you heads setup for your cams......

Sell your dresser duals and put a nice 2-1-2 head pipe on it, re-tune and you'll think you just had your heads ported, LOL
