Whatever machine shop you plan to use should be able to sonic test it.

I think some of yall take for granted just how few people use sonic testers anymore.

I found ONE machine shop/engine builder in the state who had one after calling a bunch of em. PAR, Gene Fulton, Buck, and several other well known local shops did not have one.
Found one at a builder that does a lot of roundy round engines, said he rarely uses it on stock cast heads.

Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.

FYI- I had Fowler do some work on an intake for me a few years ago; just had them open up a stock intake with a vertical mill. They were easy to deal with and reasonably priced.
