porting headers?
can anyone tell me if it would be worth sand blasting my spare set of headers and porting them or just porting them been looking at some guild and thought i give it a go but didn't know if it's worth sand blasting them aswell

IMO, sandblasting the internal bores would be a waste of time. If the porting is done properly, with the bores matched to the exhaust ports on the heads and casting lines are smoothed out, then I can't see any additional benefits it would have.
I plan to port my standard headers and heat wrap them as previously mentioned

Lots of people have wrapped them, and not had problems, I wrapped the cast iron manifolds (As I'm British they are manifolds, they are only headers if your of North American pursuasion!) on my old car (that was famous for cracking them anyway) and never had a problem in 30K miles.
