![]() ![]() ![]() Items that are not expected to be restocked within 2 weeks WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY CANCELLED. We are now only fulfilling order requests only for items that we have in stock OR that we know can be acquired within a defined timeframe. As a result, we have had to change our BACKORDER FULFILLMENT PROCEDURES. **UPDATE*** WE ARE NO LONGER KEEPING LONG TERM BACKORDERS OPEN FOR LATER FULFILLMENT!! *** Supply-chain disruptions have hampered our ability to acquire/restock items reliably, and a lack of backorder ETA information is the frustrating "new normal" for our hobby. And a huge thank you to all of you whose support and loyalty we have been the beneficiary of over the 23 years that we have worked diligently to support the information and parts needs of the aircooled VW community! We sincerely appreciate your patience, understanding during this period of restructuring and/or closing. It is still UNCERTAIN, but we may re-open a substantially downsized version of our store again in the Spring of 2023. And we will continue responding to emails through until early March 2023 because we are wholly committed to resolving any other issues that may arise from previous sales. But we continue to endeavor to answer email inquiries as best we can. Our ability to respond to emails is greatly hampered by being under-staffed during this downsize transition time. We are still fulfilling and shipping previously submitted and/or delayed order requests (as product availability allows) UNTIL NOVEMBER 15th 2022.īut after November 15th, all still pending backordered unshipped items will be automatically CANCELLED **(except for any special ordered drop-shipped or made/machined-to-order items). Porting and polishing your vehicle’s cylinder head is an effective way to increase high-RPM air flow into your engine.OUR ONLINE CHECKOUT is CLOSED and we are NOT accepting any NEW orders at this time. When your engine can take in more air, it can also burn more fuel.īurning more fuel means producing more power. Porting and polishing a head provides this effect for the air/fuel mixture at higher RPMs. The cost for the procedure can vary widely from as little as $200 to more than $2000 dollars. A Stage III port and polish, however, is generally the best value and provides the most performance for your money. This type of port and polish costs about $500, depending on the type of vehicle you have. If you get a port and polish, you can expect a performance increase of somewhere between 25 and 75 horsepower. Pricing is all over the place for engine porting. Generally, you have to get a quote based on your engine. There is, however, a community of shops that maintain somewhat standard pricing for traditional V-8 cylinder head pairs. Stage I: This most basic form of porting and polishing generally costs about $150. This is just the minimum recommended porting stage and includes a bowl port and port match. Stage II: This is generally around $300 and is coequally known as a ‘street’ or ‘strip’ port job for drivers on a budget. This port and polish stage includes bowls and intake opening port match. Stage III: A stage III port is really the minimum ‘full port and polishes’ you can get. ![]() It costs about $550 and, due to the law of diminishing returns, also ends up being the best value port and polish to get. This procedure blends all of the castings in the head for drastically improved air flow. A Stage III port will generally include porting of the bowls, a port match, and complete profiling of the combustion chambers. Stage IV: Most hot rod drivers opt for this higher stage of port and polish. This stage is almost essential for those running nitrous or high-pressure turbochargers, or superchargers. This stage includes all of the above plus a fully ported exhaust, bowl ported and port matched intake and more precise profiling of the combustion chambers. A Stage IV port and polish will run you somewhere around $750. ![]()
