Default Head porting service?

I have purchased a set of used lt4 heads. I am slowly buying up parts to rebuild my 95 lt1. I would like to have these heads cnc ported before I put them on. I would like to hear from some who have had their heads ported to find a shop that will do a good job on them, and get an idea of the cost. Thanks, Tom

Thanks for the replys. This gives me several places to talk to. I've looked up several of their web sites, and all of them look good. Thanks again for the information. Tom
