Default Screamin Eagle Heads

Just purchased screamin eagle heads part #16592-99C to be installed on a 2001 Dyna with 1550 Flat Top Kit with 203 cams. After inspecting heads I was disappointed to find that none of the ports are polished. They are sprayed with the same coating that the fins are coasted with. Should I send them to the local machine shop to have the ports polished or will that hurt low end performance. What would you recommend? Thanks for the help in advance!!!

Polishing is only recommended for exhaust side otherwise it will effect the mixture at slow speeds. Put them on and go.
