Default Whos got the best Head

Who does the best job for porting and polishing the LT-1 heads?
I want bigger valves, valve springs, titanium retainers, etc...
Looking for powerful top end without losing bottom end torque.
Thoughts comments and opinions welcome. Dyno results a plus
Thanks in advance! :)

That's a very subjective question - you're going to get a boat-load of different answers. I went with the CNC Heads Stage III job - install is coming up this summer. Hopefully I'll be impressed. :)

Well, in San Diego, you should probably ask any of our esteemed Councilmen who had their Offices raided last week by the FBI. Something about payola from a couple of strip joints. Stay tuned to Fox News for more.

Umm... You might want to rethink that one. If you have the $, it definitely pays to have the pros do it. :)
