Default Looking for a good machine shop in the Dallas/East Texas area

I picked up a set of 799 heads I'm planning to put on a 4.8 I'm getting ready to swap into an '87 C10. I'm going to have them all checked out before I put them on, but I thought I might want to have some light port work done (basic bowl work and smoothing). I'm a little east of Dallas, close to Tyler, and I'm looking for a reputable machine shop in the area that can handle that and perform a performance valve job (3 angle/5 angle). I did some searching and saw several people mention RayMac as well as Lloyd Elliott and Trevor Johnson, but all the posts I found were quite old. I'm not looking for a high dollar port job, just something basic. Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the response. I've heard of LRE before, and I've been planning on talking to them about another project I have going. I'll ask them about head work when I call them.
