Cheap Cheap Porting Would it work?
 
Hey Guys I am about to take off for a technical school located in nashville. Anyway ive opted to also get more indepth performancce oriented traning including porting and polishing and basically everything along those lines.

Unfortunately lets be honest working for someone else will not make you rich and i am gonna have a kid ina few weeks...... so there goes even more of the cash.

Anyway i was thinking i know speed shops and what not charge a hefty price for porting and other machine work.

However chances are the peopel actaully doign the work arent getting paid didlly compared ot he charge.

So lets say I happened to have a flow bench and happened ot know how to port rather well. ( Maybe not the best on earth but up there)

Do you guys think a little side business ont eh side proting and ploishing heads and intakes would float?

I figured i could buy some cheap stock heads for a few diffrent motors for cheap and port and polish them flow them and post the numbers.

I read somewhere on a forum here abotu someone buying a set of ported and polished stock heads for only $200 on ebay whcih sounded like quite a steal to me actaully.
I was thinking about maybe charging about $30 hourly or so for my time in teh poritng and so forth? this is pretty cheap i think?

What do yu guys think of this?

Anyone know where i could pick up a cheap flow bench?

I have thought about the same thing. You could get rich buying stock 5.0 intakes and heads and porting them.

The ported stock intakes sell for 200.00 on e-bay and the ported stock heads go for about 250.00. You can pick them up way cheaper than that.
