Got head?
1. to Tom at PartsGroup for a heckuva deal on an 01 head. You ******* should be nice to him, it might pay off.
2. to lazzer. I'll spare him the "eat me lazzer" thread but yer a putz for sitting on two cylinder heads for effing ever!
3. I'm gettin a 2001 head to build! woooooooooot.
Guess I'll be doing some research on DIY porting over the next few months. And junk like that.

My old boss is Ron (owner) at M2 Race Systems.

A hellva guy and interested in doing a Miata head, but has yet to do one (I'm too slow). He should be able to do a valve job no problem. If you have a good port he can digitize it and reproduce it, he's got those fancy 5 axis CNCs.
I'm not sure what his prices are either.

Valve job, yes probably as that's not anything head-specific. Port work, no.
I have a spare '94 head I was gonna let him play with but figured it'd be cheaper to find a 99+ head like you. How much was it?

a reliable source for a 3-angle would be good.

Rebello in Antioch.
They do spec miatas, as well as Touring Car BMW's. Popstoy on miataforum, and Scott Maclean, got >160 whp NA. In Scott's case, this was with the stock '94 intake, and he plans to turbo.
They charged me $800 for my 6-cylinder M3 head, for a valve job + head work. Result is +30 cfm flow (+15%), which is good for +45hp on a 6-cyl.
I then sent my cams to Dema Elgin www.elgincams.com
He will take the flow numbers from Rebello and do a custom grind. $450.
Call Dema and chat with him about what profiles would work on a VVT head.

I was actually pondering doing something similar to what you did as far as DIY port jobs go. It's definitely not $800....
do you still have your collection of educational materials for DIY porting?

I'm sending Tom @ Parts Group my car over the winter.... just to have the head done. should be just around..... oh, well... I won't say how much it will cost. lol
And he is a great guy to deal with. Has great prices, parts and service. Sometimes he spends an hour just to tell you which valves are better and why over the other ones.
