Default Anyone in Central Florida do Head Porting

Doesn't have to be cnc, but that's always a plus, just as long as it's quality work and priced fairly, trying to avoid shipping out a set of 243s if I can have them done locally, but if not I'll just send them to Texas Speed for their stage 1 treatment. Thanks for the responses and any reviews/results you have for whoever you recommend would be helpful as well.

I know Fasterproms in the Tampa area does a ton of head porting for LS motors so I would definitely give them a call and see what they can do for you. Here is a link to their website with all their contact information:

Alright, still searching for options. Got in contact with Dennis at JB RACING and he told me I'd be better off going through Texas-speed or advanced induction due to his labor being 75 am hour and he'd have 50-60 hours in them.

I was thinking the exact same thing!

It seems like most of the nice, hand ported heads I have seen done generally have 15-30 hours in them depending on how pretty the finish is on them.
