Ported IH, these are stage I and are 36MM at the surface....they progressively move down to 33mm at the bottom of the IH on the primary and on the secondary they are 36MM. The injector bosses have been removed.
Both IHS are done I will do the plenum this week...paint the plenum and IHs
Cost is $450
I can open to 36mm straight through for $700
**All prices are with you giving me your IHs and Plenum in exchange..
**Shipping is extra
If you need them installed and are in driving distance to Chicago, I can put it on for a reasonable price.....gaskets at your cost.

Stock IH at head mating surface, as noted they can be as small as 31mm and note the large bosses which impede air flow:

These are stage I, I will clean these up even more, I had originally ported this for my car:

Well while I wait for my block work....opened these up more, and started on the plenum......checking interest...they are now 35+ down to the bosses....as big maybe bigger than the ones on my 391rwhp car.

Hi:
If I might, I would like to ask some questions... What size are the ports in the head (that the IH bolts to)? Does one also want to match the IH to the Pleneum in order to maintain a constant size? What coolant block offs are installed (0r rather why)? What is the anticipated gain from this porting?

I really need to get my car ported...just can't afford it now.
the coolant bypass is for the TB, gm put them there to run coolant into the TB to keep the plates from icing up in cold weather...but who drives a zr-1 in cold weather? the advantages are to keep the air cooler into the motor providing (possibly) more power and the ability to pull the plenum without having to dump coolant

-Coolant is blocked off so that you can take the top of the plenum off without draining the radiator every time.
-As it stands the head to face area should match up to your stock, I only opened them to 32-33mm..some were as small as 31mm I can open them to 35-36mm at the face based on Jerrys Gaskets, then you can port match if you want......
-My car has 391 RWHP with a generic DRM chip, headers, Borla, and no cats
-Most see a 25rwhp gain(locobob leaves stock size on the primaries and even on ones with no port match show good results)
