Thanks for the kind words. I've ported my current cast iron heads too, but something like an oil pump or throttle body is much easier and more forgiving of small mistakes. If you want to try porting, a die grinder and a couple of burrs and some sanding rolls are all you need to get started. It can be fun, frustrating and rewarding (not necessarily in any certain order). Porting heads is both a science and an art and that's why I plan to go with some good professionally ported heads next time.
