Default Best Person to port heads

I kind of attached this thread to the dyno thread. But wanted to get peoples' opinions on who they have used to port their heads. I have Dart Pro One aluminum heads with 310 runners. I have been speaking to Jim V. - but wondering who everyone else is using. What additional hp does one expect to get from stock? Does this include port matching the intake manifolds? Thank you.

Call Lynn Morris 405-631-3985 at Cylinder Head Porting. He has been porting heads since before I was born. Here is a pic of him working his magic...

Ok, Dart Pro Ones' - are they different than other types of heads?

I appreciate the information on the recommendations. Looks like the guy I was talking to, Jim V., has at least one vote.

Just give Lynn a call. I was just over at his place and he had a few sets of Harley heads and a set of Brodix Big Dukes he was working on.

I had my Dart's CNC ported by Indy Cylinder Heads they did a sweet job and were fast and reasonably priced

One thing to watch for the accessory bolts on the front of my heads were 7/16 the Dart's that I used had 3/8 bolts holes and I had to have some 7/16 to 3/8 studs made
good luck Don

Hands down JimV. Do a search on this forum just using his name.
Also he's one of the nicest guys in the boating community.
