Default head work companies ??

Looking to get some head work soon on my 243's. I'm considering West Coast Cylinder Head or T.E.A. to do the work. The work being done is a full CNC job plus cutting them down to 61cc's. I've talked to them both and both seem to be on the same page as the other, on price and recomendations.

Do you guys have a preferance with either ?? Pro's or con's ?? Or anyone else with the ability and similar priced ?? This is going to run me roughly $1100 bucks and thats using my heads.

Thanks in advance...

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Just to give you a base line, my car dyno'ed 434 with a cam and full bolt-ons(LS6). I'm looking to have the heads CNC'ed and bump the compression towards 11.0:1. But also install a FAST 92 (port matched) and a ported LS2 TB. Just trying to squeeze the last drop of HP out of the stock rotating assembly.

If you have anything you'd like to add, by all means... I know you guys know your way around the LS based motors.

BTW, what would this last addition (worked heads, FAST92, ported TB) be worth (HP) ??

Thanks....
