If the heads have been ported you should have around 500 HP but if not then you should have around 460 HP.

ok thanx alot again for your help  

You're assuming that you can grind 40 horsepower out of a set of heads, that's lofty expectations for an amateur head porter.  

Your welcome.

I'm not a amateur. I have done it and more than once.

I'm sure we all feel much better dealing with an engine builder as experienced and talented as you...

That being said, you aren't going to teach the thread author how to port by giving a few paragraphs of advice on an internet message board.  

My customers feel good about dealing with a engine builder with my talent and experience. I never said I was teaching the thread author how to port heads I was giving him some info on like you that just comes on to criticize other peoples knoledge just becausce you do not know.

At least I can criticize people in complete sentences with proper grammar and punctuation...

Your unlimited engine building expertise can't even translate to a clear and complete thought on paper.  

I see that you think very highly of yourself and think you have more knowledge about engines than I do so I will not continue to argue with a kid like yourself but maybe one day you will be able to have such knowledge as I have.

Have a nice day.

No, it's quite the opposite...

I was simply mentioning that you couldn't even spell a word correctly or put your thoughts into complete sentences - this has nothing to do with how I think of myself.

The most important point lying in all of this arguing is that you are by far the most knowledgeable person on this board and that it's a shame that you can't put your thoughts in writing very well. It's costing everyone here a significant amount of wisdom.  

i thought i was the most knowledgable....sigh    

All you have to do is say that you are...
