Default Heads: Anyone port/polish/mill/valve job 241's in Katy or Houston area?

Wheres a good place to take a set of 241's to get cleaned up? More importantly what is the turnaround and cost? What can one expect from the 241's as far as flow and HP gain? Shooting for at least 400 corrected rwhp with ASA cam and 11's on good tire with a 9 inch and full weight.

Thanks in advance!



If noone can do it reasonable, I am looking at one of these:

I have my heads off to replace a ticking lifter and would feel like i missed a big opportunity if I don't do some sort of head work!

510raceengineering apparently does a good job on ls cylinder heads...I have no personal experience with them, but have heard positive things from some other LS1tech folks.

510 does good work, pretty sure they are mostly SAM students as well, could be wrong though

the guy i use worked for the head shop before they closed. he does it on his own now so he can charge less than they used to. hes extremely good. just not very well known. hes done some of the fastest streer cars around plus some successful pro mods.
