Honestly, its really hard to see in those pictures, but it doesnt look like they ported very much if any out of those heads, and they defenetily look rough in those runners.

Based off of what we can see in the pics. it looks like a standard machine and reseal job. If your not happy definately take them back and ask.
Just watch their reactions while your talking to them and try to talk to the machinist that did the job.

Well I have to say they look less "touched" than what I did on my own
bench although I did not bother with the valve job on 1K-mile LS2 heads.
I did a lot more smoothing where the ramp turns the corner and a bit
neater blending of the guide boss (not knife edged like the pro work
shown, but smoother than that).
Glad I went the low budget route....

Rob dont let them pull the wool over yoru eyes, those heads are not worth installing.
A decent indication on how much they have been ported is the intake runners, on heads that are heavily ported you can see the intake bolt through the runners, even the slightest port jobs on stock casting will do this.
Send those heads to someone who knows what they are doing and have them flowed/tested and re-ported and polished, and id get some money back from the shop that did those for you.
Im afraid youll just be wasting yoru time installing those things now..
