Any idea on how much it would cost for someone to do this for you? Just a mild port/street type port.

Who did the tuning?

An update from the OP would be great -- forgot all about this thread.

I have suspected block flex as the cause for some of the Renesis Apex seal failure.
I have seen Renesis stock "dowels" that had been tweaked in a motor tear down, and at very low boost. What would happen to your apex seals if the engine "tweaked" a little?

Remember, 7s have problems with flex at a little over 400 HP, and they are far stouter than the Renesis
