Who would you have port your heads for a street motor?

blkfalc4 · 05-19-2009, 07:57 PM

You left out Don

I wont vote as I only have personal experience with 3 of them (all good) and I wouldn't want to discount from the others, dollar for dollar hard to beat BigBoyz for a true street build, however, if your idea of a street motor is a 12to1 124 CI than they may not be your cup of tea and Bean would be the first one to tell you that. There are certainly more that could be added to the list and I dont' see any on your list that are not fully cabable of providing a great product.

Exactly... Don from Dewey's Heads definitely belongs on the list.

Sure there are a few others missing also.

You left out "Head Designs by Dewey"

deweysheads.com

Don Dorfman has been around the block...good guy and he really knows his $hit.

This is like the Pipe Thread Survey that left out the D & D Fatcat for the "best 2-1 pipe."

Not dissing on you there Sublime, but this thread is WORTHLESS without recognizing ALL the respectable players in the head-porting business.

Why don't you take just a minute and edit your thread....include Don...it'll make this survey a lot more informative.

Cheers,

DaFrankster : )

I guess I could of put a few more on their like Branch, Shortblock Charlie, Dan Vance, as well as a few others.. My bad.. Please feel free to call out any I missed

It wont let me change the poll

I said GMR, because he has always been straight with me, but you should have had a none of the above. There are other porters out there, they may not advertise here, though.

I am tickled with my head porter. Lou Boyle from Old Town Maine. Heads are a work of art and give great numbers.

01fxdx · 05-20-2009, 05:56 AM

the dude responsible for the stock heads on the 107 in my signature, has this bike running 10.60's in the 1/4. he's the only one i consider.

Mohead1 · 05-20-2009, 07:06 AM

No one mentioned T-Man, and being he is close to me (couple hundred miles) I was going to use him to do my next project. No thoughts on his work?? I hope its good, before I pull the trigger for this next motor.

schmeg · 05-20-2009, 08:52 PM

I haven't used him. Good following though. He offers nice cams too.

Milehog · 05-20-2009, 09:51 PM

No such thing as best.

brassman · 05-20-2009, 10:12 PM

No WFO larry or John Sachs?

xtractor · 05-21-2009, 01:40 AM

Baisley Hi-Performance offers their Hyper-stock heads for $349. It is the same porting used on their Superstock except you keep your stock valve and springs, includes guides. These heads smoke with the right combo.

4XLT · 05-21-2009, 01:54 AM

i dont think youll do wrong going with any of the top 3 or 4 !!

me personally i have had nothign but good experience with Hillside... worth a 5 hour trip for me , because they got it right !!! period they took a set of heads that were done wrong and made them right and got me a total of 30+ HP/TQ... thats about 28% improvement ? somehwerres about there !!!
