Port and polished head
 
well....ZC head turns out to be warped....so i picked up a port and polished head off craigslist should be getting here tomorrow. Also gunna order my ARP head studs and a Cometic MLS head gasket. I just wanted to post somewhere cause i am super stoked.


I picked up the head for $150 shipped which i think is a good deal. What kind of gains will i see from a port and polished head?
