OP don't pick a shop on location alone.
When shopping for a head porter always try and use someone with proven results for the application.
Just because any engine shop can port a set of heads and even if they had good results with another engine does not mean you should risk wasting your cores on letting them have a shot at it.
If you can find a "local" shop with results, wonderful but otherwise a little drive or shipping is worth it to get something proven. If a shop does mediocre work to your heads because they don't have the experience and results yet you just not only wasted what you paid them but also the value of your cores.

Thanks, Your def not the first person to mention them so I guess thats a good sign towards Livernois.
Yeah thats why I stated "reliable" work. I would rather drive across the country for good work rather next door for shitty quality. I would rather have someone local than ship it across the country...idk why but Im uncomfortable having precious items(ie nice heads) somewhere I couldnt be at.
Thanks Rick. Since I have been asking around for past few days, your guy's name has come up frequently(all GOOD things). But as I stated I dont even have heads worth putting money into yet. I was just trying to get an idea of what I should expect.
Once I get some funds saved adn buy some heads ...I'll be coming your way.

You don't have to drive anywhere...companies like advanced induction and total engine airflow are excellent companies that have an excellent track record. They offer supplied cores where they send you a set of cnc'd heads and you ship your cores back to them. Turn around is only a day or two.
So after doing research from alot of the main companies(AI, TEA, and Livernois) I'm starting to think about just buying aftermarket heads. Looks as if buying 243s, then get them worked over should cost around $1000-$1300...I could get a set of fully assembled Trick Flows, PRC's,Patriots for about the same price or maybe 100-200 more.
Any input? Opinions..
