Hey, anything's possible, but there are a lot of people who have been here on the boards for a long time and we/they know what a contour can and can not "generally" pull off in the 1/4.

A couple things that tripped my "BS" meter were:

1) Extrude hone is the only place on the face of the planet (that I know off) that can port our upper intake due to it's geometry. They patented the extrude hone process - so they are it. Unless pauls sent out your upper all they could do is port match the TB and the lower intake ports.

2) To remove the heads and have them ported and polished and a valve job (and bling bling titanium springs )would be almost ridiculous to do without just throwing in a 3.0 at the same time. Anyone who is going to spend the couple few thousand dollars to do it would almost without question spend an extra $500 dollars for a junk yard 3.0 and do the swap at the same time. (Removing heads on car == LOTS of time and labor, darn near impossible to tq rear headbolts. Removing heads with engine out == 3.0 for very little more money)
