I just found out the other day I am gonna be a daddy for the firs time!
The wife is letting me finish the upgrades on the the cuda I had already started. I sent my heads off and would like any opinions on porting. I want he most bang for the buck but don't know much about it. The heads are factory iron J's. I was originally going with the stage 3 but will there be a big difference between 2 and 3?

STAGE 1 PORT WORK: $350
Details: Stage 1 porting consists of an intake and exhaust bowl blend. We hand blend the the bottom cut of the valve job to the bowls going approximately 1 ½”-2” down into the bowl. On the exhaust side this includes hand radiusing and ovaling of the exhaust seat area underneath the 45* seat angle. On the intake side we “chatter” the valve seat under the bottom 60* cut with a carbide to help break up the wetflow as it crosses the valve seat. The exhaust port will also get the short turn and ST corners radiused. The intake port will get gasket matched, and the pushrod pinch area will be opened up. The rest of the intake ports and exhaust ports will remain untouched, in as cast state. NO chamber work of any kind is performed.
STAGE 2 PORT WORK: $575
Details: Stage 2 porting consists of Stage 1, plus: Intake runner head bolt bulge will be eliminated, intake short turn will be radiused and widened slightly. Combustion chambers will be de-shrouded around the intake and exhaust valves, and sand rolled with 80 grit, for a smooth transition from seat to chamber. The backside of the chamber (non plug side) will remain untouched. The rest of the intake runners and exhaust runners will remain AS CAST, with no blending/shaping or sand roll work performed.
STAGE 3 PORT WORK: $750
Details: Stage 3 porting consists of Stage 1 and 2, plus: Intake and exhaust runners will be fully blended/shaped, every inch of all ports/chambers will be touched with a carbide/sand rolled for maximum flow and surface finish. This is maximum flow port job we can do on a 2.02’ iron head.
