I second that! A set of SHM race ported heads is about that price. What you are paying for is LABOR. I've seen sites advertising porting of your heads for around $600.00 a set to about 1,600 for race porting and all the goodies( beefed up valves, springs etc ). Get a blower and be done with it! Unless you already have a blower and just want MORE POWER! Still that is way to much for 20 - 40 Hp max. You can buy a set of ported heads and find a decent mech to intall them for under $ 2,500.00 easy! Do a web search for ported 4.6 heads, there are a bunch of reputable sites out there.
