There is Extrude Honing, which Pro Drag offers.

As well, you can go to Campbell Automotive - they have some great engine builders who know how to make power.

Extrude Honing is more expensive than porting typically, however it is all done on a machine, so you'd get better results than your average porting.

I personally believe a good porter can outdo the extrude honing, however others believe different.


As for prices in Extrude Honing - Pro Drag (Blaine) can give you a quote. I believe it's 600 - 700 for a 4cyl head.....

Just a heads up, but I would advise against doing a extrude hone on your inake side.

You will want to make sure the surface is not a mirror smooth finish so that the fuel will mix better.

I believe the people doing the Extrude Honing know this, and make sure to leave it a bit rougher.

You would hope.. but I am pretty sure they would take your money eather way.
