Default Machine Shop in Houston

Does anyone have any opinions on a good machine shop to use in Houston.

I have an LS1 short block out of a 98 camaro and need the cylinders honed, crank ground (couple of bad bearings), balanced and everything checked out really good.

I plan on building it back with forged pistons, cam, ported heads and an LS6 intake.

Thanks for any help
