So, someone should probably tell one of the most knowledgeable experts on Porsche heads in the world that his knowledge of Porsche heads is “Rudimentary at best.”

I agree he was extremely helpful on my heads and did a great job.

He was very very helpful, and I have not even bought anything from him yet! High marks from me all around!

He did mention they have an oversized valve and port option for the 3.2 heads that offers double digit flow improvements for a very reasonable price. If my budget wasn’t already at the limit, I would totally send my heads in for that.

Planning to update this thread through at least engine build, installation and tuning.

May take me a while to get it all done, so updates may not be terribly frequent, but I’ll make sure it gets captured as it happens.
