Default Porting heads

I'm about to install a bunch of new goodies onto my 2000 camaro one of which are a set off 799 heads. I will be upgrading cam and intake as well however since the car will be out of commission for a while I wanted to go ahead and have the 799s port and polished. I have never had this done before who is a good person to do this and what is kind of the average cost

I've always done my own, but never heard a bad thong about A.I. and Tony Mamo works magic with heads.

Advanced Induction, TEA, Tony Mamo are all good choices.

i would go with one of the three mentioned above. they have all proven themselves with the head porting over and over again. Average head porting for those heads is around a $1,000 as well.
