I'm sorry if I find wrenching on my car an enjoyable hobby? lol

I happen to like cars and working on them.... kind of why I have a camaro. haha.

I thought that was a good reason to be a car enthusiast, I guess you find it hilarious that people actually LIKE to work on their cars and not pay people to do it for them?

PS I said porters also usually mill heads for FREE, when they port heads.. that means FREE... i'm sorry, but maybe the third time is a charm... FREE..... I know when I got my west coast cylinder heads, rich asked me how much I wanted milled off of them, and charged me nothing. I paid $1250 for a set of 360+ cfm heads... milled...shipped. throw in $100 for head gaskets, $100 for flycutting tool (that you can sell afterwards and recoupe money), and we are looking at under 1500 for roughly 40 rwhp..... so very not practical at all. (then you can deduct ~300 from that, bececause you can sell your stock heads), so make that 1200 for ~40 rwhp. so very not practical

and you can sell the tool afterwards, as there are plenty of ls3 vette guys who flycut pistons... there are even rental programs too!
