Default Head Porting

I am looking to get my heads ported/polished. I would like to take a poll and see who you guys would recommend. I am located in PA, but quality is more important to me than having the work done nearby. The heads are stock L98's. What kind of $$ am I looking at? Thanks guys.

I think it depends on what kind of porting you want. If its simple pocket porting, I would do it myself. For more involved porting consider some of the aftermarket heads like Brodix, Canfield, AFR and TFS. These heads have proven ports on them and they are new. I think properly ported stock heads with and new valves and guides and shipping (if you don't have trusted porter near you) comes out close to the off the shelf as cast price heads.

This is just my IMHO.
