Default Head work/Bo White?

Ok, I have these LS6/LS2 heads that are brand new and sitting on my floor until I decide what new cam to put in with them or to get head work done. I have heard "Bo White" mentioned before but I do not know anything about him or the services. So here is the question.

Who gives fair priced and quality head work? I need someone I can trust not to f up the heads or steel them. I need feedback from persons who have used different persons or companies. I am not trying to break the bank here. Thanks in advance for any replies.

I don't know about the cam yet. Using the dyno sim advanced software I have, my actual bench test flow numbers, it is telling me by best bet for the power range, hp and tq will come from the futral f2 or f4. I won't try to find a bigger cam for ported heads until I have the flow numbers.

How do I get ahold of this guy?
What kinda time frame am I looking at to port the heads?
How many fingers will I need to cut off to have them done?

Not to speak for Bo, but he posted on here a few months back saying he was getting out of the head porting business, and that he'd do it on the side when he had time.

PM him... Bo White is his LS1tech handle, and see what he says.

I have been busy working at the plant and it is correct that I have cut back on my side stuff- enough that I stopped sponsoring for the moment. I plan on a comeback tour here real soon but still working kinks out at the moment. redtail, yours have already been started on . Wonder what things would be like if Mercedes hadnt called me 6 months ago......
BTW, thanx fellas . Im planning on being at the Dyno in Trussville on the 29th for a dyno day for the local forum

Bo White seems to be a great guy to deal with and I haven't heard anything but positive things about him.
If he cant do it because of time then I will throw out option number 2.
If budget is low then sell the LS6 heads you have and buy a stage 1 5.7 head from TEA. The price is only 1000 dollars and can be to your house within days.
Call TEA and talk to Mike, he can make some additional suggestions.
