Default Good place to get heads installed, C6Z

Just picked up a '09 Z06 with 6.7k miles on the clock. I'm about to order a set of AHP heads to get the head/valve issue addressed ASAP before I drive the car further. I'm located in Seattle; can anyone recommend a shop that's preferably nearby? I am willing to drive out if necessary though all the way up to Vancouver. Here's a list of the places I know of right now:

Corvettes of Auburn: they used to have good reviews on here, but it seems their quality is hit or miss as of late. Is that true? If that's the case I'd rather avoid them.

Brad's Custom Auto: reputable, but they're so busy they told me to call them in two months just to even start the process of setting up an appointment... I'd rather not wait that long.

Tom Wong: super reputable but when I tried calling him, his mailbox was full. He also doesn't respond to Facebook messages or emails.

Nutter Engines: they have a racing pedigree for sure and I believe they used to build race-car engines for some big names. They're located in Vancouver WA though, and I've also not heard any reviews of them.

Ideally I'd go with Tom Wong but since I can't get a hold of him I don't think that's gonna happen. Any places you guys would recommend?

Haven't used them in a few years but www.carbconn.com in Kirkland has always been a good choice for myself. They also have a dyno for tuning.

Josh at Corvettes of Auburn does a great job - I'd highly recommend him to install the heads and any other associated work you may need such as a tune. Tom Wong does very good work as well if you're willing to go to Vancouver for the work.
