Cam installation - Comp cam stage II

Dolbs4082 · February 28th, 2009, 09:49 PM

Going to be installing my cams as soon as they come in. my question is, since im breaking the motor down to that point, how much more work would it be to just pop the heads off?

I know a very respectable engine builder here close by that says he can get me a good deal on port n polishing the heads... So i was just wondering how much more work does that take? also, what have most of you all paid to get yours P&P'd?

Also, what kind of gains can i expect if i do pop the heads off and p&p them?

i was told a couple months ago by a local machine shop that it would be about 650 for the PandP

well expect to pay for new head gaskets and bolts as well, the pass side is easy, driver side with hyroboost there sucks
