I am sending in my heads again to get it cleaned. I supposed to drop it off today morning but i thought i wait until i get some response.

I am sending in the lower intake to tmoss to get it ported.

What else should i do? i have new duel valve springs and retainers and seats, valve seals.

What else should i get done? valve job? what else? I need some professional opinions. Thanks

For the money I spent on getting a valve job, springs, tank, mill, and things checked out.

It would be about the same to have thumper port them. If you factor in he does a valve job, cleans, does a mill to make sure things are flat, paints (a shop will not do that either btw) AND port the heads....the port work is a very good deal IMHO.

Thumper did my heads

If your going to spend the money on the gt40's you already have...get the most you can for what you pay for.

Thumper and Tmoss are not just great gearheads/porters but great people who have helped myself and others out with things and I will never forget that.

I have already contacted thumper and i supposed to send it out after i get it cleaned up.

I was just little confused since my meachine shop said it's up to me to decide. They said they wanted to race port my heads...

I have local machine shop who is willing to do it cheap since i take 3 sets of my other heads there. first set(e7) was ported by them. they want to do the valve job and milling and clean and paint(no extra cost). they are gear heads too and they too have heard of thumper. they want me to send it out to see how good thumper is. They said they will see. (these people are the one's that make 302 N/A to go 12's too)

My local meachine shop builds drag cars and weekend worriors too.

I know tmoss will do good job at good price. so i am gonna get that done.

I was just wondering if i missed anything...

Thanks

You are the reason why i wanted to go thumper. I told him about your set up already.
