If you want to buy a kit that has the tuff already together for simplicity reason, you can go with one from Standard Abrasives.

They have the individual parts, as well as kits large enough to do heads. It is not required to do a kit, you just need the abrasives in increasing order to port something out.
Summit sells these, as well as a few other places online.
You can use a die grinder or if you don't have a large enough compressor for this, I guess you could try something like a RotoZip tool, or a dremel tool. I don't think that is the prefered tool for use. The grinder needs to be able to do ~ 18,000 RPM for porting.
See if Neal posts back what he uses. The mfgr specific kit is not a required, just the correct steps with the correct grit.
Good luck

Thanks again, Steve. I might just splurge for that kit...looks neat.
I'll prob. be picking up a TB the week after next and by that time, I'll let all you know what I decide to do. I still have to get the Magnaflow exhaust upgrade!
Right On!
