I talked to them a while back, and he didn't want to do any porting/work on my heads, his comment was why dont you just get a good set of heads out of the box. Seemed to me they would assemble them and etc, maybe I got the wrong idea when I talked to him, but he seemed to be more about building motors than headwork.
