You get what you pay for dont expect MAP to lower there quality just for you. You dont need a big port head in our cars to perform well. Just get a stage 2 job done from them and thats it . There are many 9 second dsms out there running on stock valves and stock ports.
The quality of the valve job is far better off than any porting you get.
MAP is a great company and I would not hesitate to run there short blocks or heads.

AMEN! It's actually gone much farther. What kind of mahem are you planning to unleash? The 1g head is VERY well designed for high flow. It's the piston design that needs to be address at 500whp levels.

I've purchased parts from MAP and sought advice. They've never disappointed me. They also do have a good reputation locally. They're good people and they know DSM's.

Definately agree! Chris is the man and all the people who work at MAP know what they're doing and what they're talking about. Would you hesitate to buy something from someone with a 912 whp FD RX-7 with a 4g63? Needless to say I've done a lot of ordering from Chris and sought alot of advice from him and they've always been prompt and helped me out with everything I needed! You definately won't be disappointed.

Those guys are awesome and have multiple powerful DSMs, also noting a swap they have done doesn't really make it clear that they know what to do with Head work, but the fact that every dsm those guys own is really quick.
