Who can do this kind of porting?

I have a stock set of LS6 heads on my car right now, unported. Since I love the lightweight valves, I'd like a Stage 2 port job w/ a 5-angle valve job using the stock valves. I asked Brian Tooley at TEA about this probably 2 years ago and he said they had done something like this once on a circle track car, but it was done by hand. I'm not sure if they still do stuff like this anymore or if any sponsor does, so that's why I'm posing the question.

To sum it up, I'd like to send my heads to someone, have them ported, milled .030, and given a 5-angle valve job using the stock valves, then reassembled with the springs I already have on the heads since they're fairly new. Do any sponsors have a CNC program for this or would this be done by hand? If so, have a price?

it would probably cost the same as purchasing new cnc heads.

I thought TSP was using the stock valves in one of their new PRC jobs?

Stock valves invariably refer to ls2 style valves which are regular steel valves, unlike the lightweight sodium filled ls6 valves. Both the ls2 and the ls6 head came with the same 243 casting.
