Default Valve job

Anyone have a reputable place to get a high quality valve job done on ls1 heads around the Chicago area.

I have one set of 853 LS1 heads here 5 angle valve jobbed and hand ported. They aren't milled yet, if you want the chambers 59cc, cheap hp. I'll do $600 for them bare, milled to desired chamber volume.

Otherwise have 243/799 heads and 317 heads, at a higher cost.

Just looking for a nice valve job i have some 243s already and looking to start porting some 241s so a place that does a high quality valve job will definitely pick up some flow so i can keep the ports very conservative. Thanks for the info FLP and i appreciate the offer Fraser but i already have heads, if i didn't already have castings that would be a great buy.

What kind of cfm do you usually pick up off your 5 angle valve jobs?

We just flowed an LS3 head we valve jobbed vs. factory valve job, picked up 5cfm consistently at all lifts.

On some heads we've seen up to 20cfm.
