    no its not. its the bottom end that gets lightened and balanced not the head. however it is possible to have the head ported and polished and gain some power

    Whats wrong wish "polished" its the term used for headwork, tho not that many heads want completely smooth ports as a bit of roughness aids atomization I think.
