Port and Polish Options

[Arsaces]

Hey guys, I am waiting on the surewinproducts on ebay to restock their header (unless anyone knows for certain another seller that bolts up without hassle and will accommodate both my o2 sensors) and while doing this I have been reading some stuff about headers in general and on this site. I see a lot of people talking about port and polish, I looked it up and got a general idea of what exactly it is, but I am confused as to how you actually go about doing this, do you have to have this done at a machine shop? Do they need the header, or the motor? Is it expensive, is it worth the money, etc, etc. Thank you for any information you can give me.

I noticed a definite difference since I had my head ported and polised (had it done to the max too) and with a header install (surewin) along with a hi-flow exhaust. I did have to relocate the 2nd O2 sensor behind the cat though cause the header kept throwing a code. Did that months ago and still no check engine since

You def notice top end increase but loss in lower end (which does disappoint). The increase in top end though is pretty nice. Plus, I think the machine work was roughly $200 for the P&P.
