Port and Polish??

I've called around all over the state of NH, and so far, I have found noone that will touch the motor of my car. One guy told me that the TL's motor was already practically peaked for performance, and the heads were already shaven down alot. He also said something about acid dipping them... Which is not worth the gain. No, I feel this sucks, because the only next option is that supercharger from comptech, and that's like, 4500 before labor. I think I'm screwed, eh?

Check out this thread on Port & Polish HP:
http://www.acura-tl.com/forum/showth...threadid=53871
"A port and polish would be pretty expensive, about 1400, and would get me about 30-40 HP."

If you've got a hard-on for a port and polish job, call Dean at 407-772-0070. He's having the heads done on his 3.5L upgrade project.
