![]() I currently have my engine tore down to the short block. I took my E7 heads to the machine shop to have a 3 angle valve job done. The heads already have upgraded springs. My dilemia is that I have $200 cash left over.
My question is should I use this cash to port the exhaust ports on the E7 heads or just buy a cam and lifter kit for the short block?

![]() You would see more gains from porting the heads than you would from a cam with stock heads.
Go ahead and have them mill the heads 30 thousanths while they are at it to bump the compression up a little bit.

![]() Thanks for the reply Dark_5.0. I also have an explorer intake and a 65mm throttle body that I will be installing. I will have the shop gasket match the exhaust ports instead of buying a cam then.
