Real world testing has refuted this old wives tale. Aluminum heads are lighter and easier to port, let's just leave it at that.

There are a few good head porters left that will port cast iron.

Keith Eickert has been around for a very long time, especially in the race offshore world.

He uses expensive parts and i'd guess he charged a lot of money too.

I'd pay a lot more for Keith Eickert than a SB's General Repair Shop anyday.
