It's a massively open ended question to be honest.
You're unlikely to get a modified cylinder head from a reputable tuner for less that £600.
It all depends on the spec of then engine it's destined for really.

Thanks guys I have inboxed Turbo Phil. What we want to do is get more power out of the 998 engine, it already has a stage 1 kit on and been told port and polishing will be good for extra power

My head from phill looks lovely, I just haven't bolted it on yet.
He's only just up the M6, so not a million miles away
