Default LS3 823 Heads Porting Services

Hello i am seeking some advice as who i should send heads for a full porting job. any suggestions possibly here in texas? i really dont want to use texaspeed, everytime i asked they make it sound like porting the ls3 heads is a waste of time and i should rather buy their heads. I have an ls2 c6 and looking to make all NA power. I have long tubes, mamo ported throttle body, ported manifold, BTR stage 3, dewits radiator, 160 therm, mcleod clutch, melling high volume pump, larger diameter oil pick up tube, windage tray, ls7 lifters, cold air intake.

Texas speed is probably correct. Are you going to do any future engine mods? If not you will probably not see much gain if any with porting/polishing LS3 heads with your setup. LS3 heads flow really well for a factory head.

is it because you have an ls2 (fewer cubes)
sent my heads to tsp for port/polish and milled to 64cc
feels like I added 5lbs of boost, lol
