ok now ive got my sl lightly modded and what not. not to much, but it can breathe good. now i want to add real power. i wanted a porting job done. now ive run into plenty of problems here. first off, i can port them for only 125 a head, but theres not a 'flowtest' place for hours, and thats hella expensive, any advise on that. also i heard that i should port my intake first, then the heads so im iffy there as well. lastly i need to worry about all the liitle "bitchy" parts that can cause delays, like makeing the valves bigger and what not. so yea, any advise is appreiciated. i live in south texas so any place near here where i can ship would be great, thanks.

Might want to check the local texas section of 3si.org There are alot of members in that region that might know of some good shops, etc.
I honestly don't have too much knowledge when it comes to porting an polishing an NA 3S.
One thing I do know is you might want to consider at least a little work on teh plenums, I believe they are cast, and have quite a bit of rough surfaces, etc.
There is also a section in teh FAQ under the NA modding bible that has some info on porting/polishing, perhaps you can PM the member on 3si who wrote it and get some advice from him.
