Any thoughts?

Ah, U guys...Nothin eh???
Y'all are making me feel like "Mikey"!! (of the cereal commercial - some of us ol phardts remember).
"I'm not going to try it...YOU try it!"
"NO! I'm not going to try it...
YOOOOU try it!!"
"I know!...Let's get Mikey! He likes everything!...He likes it!! Hey Mikey!"
Now, I just know there's gold at the bottom of those (head) intake ports. I can just about
feeeeel another 5-10 or?? more hp if done right (even if one doesn't pull the heads (read: full head porting job) to relieve the valves, etc.
) Most (from what I've been told) just do a bit of port matching on the heads on a plenum/IH (only) porting. Considering how pains taking a taper is to do by hand with a die grinder, I understand why.
The reamer quoted me might just be the ticket, but $400 is a lot just now on top of the rest of my winter projects...Hmmmm....(mulling this one over
)
