Hey B.,
I've heard from acouple people that you should only port the intake
ports, and clean up around the valve seats. The magnum heads are already
high-flow... All I'm having done to "Project 13's" is a cleanup and mild
porting. I'll have em' cc'ed after the work is done... they'll flowbench
em' too.. I'll let you all know how it turns out
