Default Valve Job + Porting Recommendations?

Can someone recommend a good place to get valve work (guides) and porting done? How much should I expect to pay for something like this?

Also, is it worth doing or is a new set of heads a better way to go?

IF your not looking at tons more performance (ie staying with the stock LTR setup and a mild cam) then stick with the original heads, assuming that they don't cost more to fix than a new set would cost. Just get a three angle valve job and pocket porting and be done with it.

If you want more performance and are planning to upgrade to a larger cam and full exhaust and higher flowing intake components then spend a little more money now as opposed to pulling them off again to get it done later.
