im not sure, just a slight port job. clean the heads a little. the 6.0 heads have been in the 700rwhp range without being touched..... so I dont need to go crazy with the ports. just slight port and a refresh

Lloyd would be a good choice. Trevor and chris both do great work, but be ready to pay for the experience. I would get a set of cnc'd heads from tea as cheap as they are.
