Default head job

Looking for a shop to port/polish/mil stock LS1 heads. I called Adams Metalizing here in Lancaster and I was surprised that they dont do porting.

Any referances in the Antelope Valley or any SoCal shop?

I know of several people that use them. They're not just a good machine shop, CC for CC I'd put their heads against any other head porter on the same casting. They can do your heads to yield exactly the characteristics you want and get the most power out of them. Definitely give them a call.
