Default Orlando Head/Machine Recomendations

Guys,

I am looking to see if anyone has any recomendations of who does top notch quality work on heads and machine work in Orlando. I am looking for those shops that dont just do a 3 or 5 angle valve job and call it a day, but those that know it requires blending the seat in to the bowl, lapping the valves and blueing.

I have found Stroker Performance and they have a pretty impressive website, but I have not been there to see them yet.

Thanx,
-Don
