$2250 to have your heads cnc ported? Is that really an option?
I have customers that have had horrible experiences with them also

CNC is just a machine. The only advantage is uniformity in each port. Have a bad cad port design and you get a bad CNC port. Ill stick to people i know for my port work. And Ray your one of them.  Matt

$2250? Sorry but I can't justify that...
So who does decent work at a working man's price? I know a few guys who do excellent hand porting but have not tackled a Gen 3 Mopar. Not that I wouldn't trust them...
I'll likely start with my '04 heads. I'm going to weld up the quench pads to help raise the compression. I'll have RaceTec do my pistons. I need 13-1 compression for use with methanol fuel.
How about a reference or two... I guess I'd have about $800.00 to budget to get my early 5.7's done. Just buy a used set of eagle heads

Medlock51, buy a set of Eagles and save porting money.

I'm sure the cost has more to do with the low volume nature and the $300K machines it takes to cut them. Their machining looks top notch though. Some very fine machines they have and some great work comes out of there. I've done coating work for a builder who has bought on average over the last 3 years 6 sets Edelbrock DR17s at 8100 a set($49k) https://frankensteined.net/shop/edelbrock-dr17/another that we do coating work for buys an average of 25 sets a year of Edelbrock SB2 at $8250 a set .(206K) https://frankensteined.net/shop/edelbrock-sb2-raised/80 combined sets of different LSX offerings they have, between 2900 and 3400 a set and right now I have 4 sets of LT4 6.2s that came from Frankenstein that ae going out today to my customer Frankenstein is doing fine

Just buy a used set of eagle heads I bought a set of low mileage eagle heads with new PAC springs and Manley Ti retainers for $800. The $2250 does include new springs, retainers and valve job so it is not just cnc porting.
