Default Machine Shop Northern California

I know I've put up afew posts today but here's another. I bought a set of Ported and Polished LS1 heads with comp 918's in them. The previous owner had no idea of the flow #'s of the heads. He also stated that there may have been nicks from the grinder on a few of the valves. He wasn't sure if this was bad or if it would affect the performance of the heads. I need to either hear that these nicks are ok or find a place to make sure these heads are in ok condition. Any help appreciated.

HCI in Sacramento specializes in racing engines. You might want to give them a call and see if they can help you.

Do you have recommendations for dyno tuning? I visited forcefedperformance (around Yuba City, outside of sacramento and roseville) and they seemed good. I go to school in Davis but am going home to Santa Barbara to install everything with a friend. Nor cal or So cal recommendations are all ok. Just looking for the best place. Car is FI setup w/heads, cam, LT's, converter, daily driver....
