Depends,on what you intend to use the engine for,how radical a port you want,what the car is to be used for...etc,etc.
Most guys just do there own ports,but there are many builders on Forum here that can help you too.
Grab a coke and star cruising the Regional sections,as they may have some builders listed near you to help you in your Porting inquiries.

welcome to the board.

there's a place local to you that you could ask about doing the p-port. i'll lookup the name/address and post it.

I just don't understand what you mean by "what housings to get?". you can cut peripherals into any rotor housing. the Turbo housings (T, REW, etc.) are "better" only in the sense that they have less restrictive sleeves.

what exactly is your plan?

ok so I would o to a regular shop because I know some one but that's not the problem. the problem is that I have dose so searching and I know that the slaves have a tendency to fall out under the presser and I was looking at the racing beat housings because they are casted and are practically garneted not to fall out!

it might be worth it to contact GNS Racing (they're not far from the airport if I recall) here in Ocala. short of that, you're probably looking at a few places in Orlando or Miami.

if you can afford to buy RB housings, then by all means .... you'll be getting quality work for sure, and you won't need to flesh out any local builder to do it for you. it is pricey though. also, just FYI ... they are not cast like the MFR housings. they are built.

I will assume "slaves" are SLEEVES??? wherever you read that the sleeves fall out under pressure is downright rubbish. if you look at the photos of the RB housings, you'll see that they are still there. if I recall though, the MFR housings did not use sleeves.
