From what I know, you can port a TII any of those ways, but for the highest hp output without many other mods ie haltec ect. the best porting job would be a bridge port

There are several question you need to ask yourself...
What application is this for?  Street?  Race?  If race, what kinda racing?
Can you afford ALL the porting options?  Some cost more than others...
Do you realize you need to tear the entire engine down and basically end up doing a rebuild?  You're looking at a $2,000+ on average for just a "port job".
There is not such thing as a BEST port.  All performance have a compromise.  That bridge port BlackRx7 will have crappy low end, eat a lot of gas (i.e. inefficient) on the low-end, and will eventually break the bridge itself, which WILL take out at least one rotor housing - can you live with those "compromises"???
