Default Best dyno tune shop and Heads shop around boston??

Just like the title states. Im looking for a shop for an SD dyno tune, and a place to have my heads milled. I know i can google places very easily, but where do you guys suggest? Its nice to have real reviews on shops whether its a good or bad one!

As of now i plan on going to slowhawk, but haven't had a chance to read much about them since i've mainly been concerned with finishing my car.

Reids Automotive in whitman, ma. He has all the top notch machines and can pretty much do anything. I cant put in the web address(non-sponsor) but if you google it will come right up. He did my block and many of my family and friends work with no problems.

We are testing Reids out soon. They just started to mess with LS motors. I want to use them for head milling ect and cheap shortblock rebuilds. For high performance stuff we'll still stick with Virginia Speed.

I've already talked to don about my build, resulted in my motor being in the classifieds :-). I won't need the machine shop as soon as i thought.

Thanks everyone.
