How do you guys have your P-51 ported? just port it out through the runner or just gasket match? I noticed that the ports the way they are are almost smaller than the stage 2 port on the heads I have. So I am thinking of having it ported out! What do you guys suggest?

You don't want to gasket match, you want to port match. If you use the gaskets as a template the ports will be too big and you'll lose performance.

As for the runners, if $250 is correct, I would definitely give it to fox lake to port.

Almost smaller or smaller?

You don't want it to be bigger.
