Feel free to express your opinion, I don't get all butt hurt about it.Lemme dissect you post a bit. As far as specialized tool's go, I owned the same Sn95 for 11 year's, off the top of my head, the only special tool's I had were the pertinent ones for the trans (I also have Chevy special trans tools), and a 35mm? (I think) socket for the nut that hold's the unit bearing on. Everything else, I can use on any of my car's. You do need more than wrenchs and socket's go, but I don't see how that was ever any different.Busier/Less time I concede that point. However, to me, wrenching is 70% of the fun of having a car, but then I am an odd one...A guy in his basement porting.... Maybe I should have been more clear, an experienced guy in his basement. A head is a friggen head, be it modular, Hemi, wedge, canted valve. A person with experience can look at the design and tell you what it takes to make it work better. And how does one get experience? Well the same way you get to Carnegie Hall, practice. I for one would not be afraid to try to port my own head's. I might make them worse, yes, but they only cost 200 bucks. And why take on faith that the fool running the CNC today was on top of his game? What if he said ".050 under here and .077 over there, close enough" and chucked it in the box? I ran CNC's for year's, and the most common thing out of my boss's mouth (at several shops) was "we're not scrapping that". So I have less faith in the almighty CNC than the general public.As for tuning, well it's 6 one way and a half dozen the other. I will say this though, I'm not going to drive the car on the dyno, I'm going to drive it on the street. I used SCT pro racer, figured it out myself, and managed to not blow up my boosted motor.Some of my point's were just in the face of so-called "knowledge" people have, that they read off a board. Far too many speak on what they have read, not what they have done. Which in turn snowballs into a big myth that you can never get rid of. Like Fram being a good oil filter, but I digress.But my whole intent here was to stir debate, because I am bored <<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /> So keep em coming.</blockquote>
