http://www.sa-motorsports.com/diyguide.shtm is a general write up on basic head porting.

Most of the benefit to be derived will come from the basic pocket side work and smoothing of the casting flaws, imo.

Not sure on the Poston's kit make up. Poston is a reputable vendor, however.

Most of the gains you can expect with a stock cast iron "8445" casting will be found in the valvejob and bowl areas, I would say 75% of the gains found...(comparing to a full port job) would be found in the bowl area. Smoothing the casting surface does nothing to help port flow (and if it does VERY minimally) you are looking to "pick" up airflow velocity and port flow in the areas that are "dead" in the port. Take a look at the insides of a reputable head porters work, look at areas of the port as one section at a time, and perform your work accordingly.....You will do NOTHING but make the car a turd if way too much material is removed from the castings.....hence hurting port velocity.

Just finished my heads myself, spent most of my time in the bowls and just got rid of the casting ruffness, in the runners.

Hey, about Poston, I've had some good luck with them. For some reason I bought their headers. But they were a perfect fit and I have no complaints except that the downpipe they sell is total crap. There is a reason it's $80. If I could buy headers and a downpipe again, I would definitely go with ATR. I found that Poston is a really good vendor of all the little things you need here and there. If you want to stay away from someone, stay away from Kenne Bell. They need to update their catalog and parts and stop messing around with Miatas.
