The mom comment was harsh. I apologize.
However, I don't care what your location is, 200 for a mill job is nonsense. The day I'm quoted that, is the day I find a new machine shop.
Case and point here is, a freshend up set of 243's or 799's with heavier valves is the best bang for the buck in this case.
I called a local shop today and they quoted me 375 bucks for a valve job and mill. Another 100 if the guides needed attention.

Ok, now we're getting somewhere. You agree that the prices you were "quoted" are insane...and you also agree that we found better prices for the same work...
So why are you arguing with us?
I just seen a pair of ls2 243's go for 350 bucks...add 375 to that for a valve job and mill and your at 725 bucks. With a good 3 angle valve job on 243's, you gain a lot of flow, and can easily pick up 20 horse and then some by putting these in place of the stock heads.
