Default Cylinder head porting work...who does it?

I'm looking for someone who can do porting & polishing work on my S4 cylinder heads. Has anyone else done this yet? Can you recommend a good shop? I'm doing the porting on my intake manifold myself, but I don't want to tackle the cylinder heads (which are coming off this weekend, BTW).

Default

If you want it done right & cost is no issue: COSWORTH Engineering. They do all the RS-4 motor work.

Default Find someone with Flowbench, look here...

I recommend that you find someone with a flowbench that tests his own work before and after. Go to the following URL to find someone in your area.

Default Flowbench (as pcormier says) is manditory!!!

From the numbers I've seen the head flows just fine with port/gasket matching (based on the A4 design). The stock cam lift is the limiting factor (upstream of that tiny turbo and exhaust). Has schrick come out with a cam yet?

It is literally impossible to do this right without a proper flow bench.
