Need shop to do work on Vortec heads

Undecided which route to go, screw in studs or pin Also need machine work to accommodate at least a .550 lift. Need to find a good shop.

I just read Car Craft March 2004 issue. In the magazine, they did a story about roller cam. Well to make it short, on page 41, they used a 350 with roller cam, vortec heads with comps new beehive springs. It said they used "pure stock pair of iron vortec heads fitted with a set of Comp's new beehive valvespring." Hopefully I can get by with the beehive springs and not have to do any machine work on the heads other than to put screw in studs or pin the studs.

How much did he charge for the screw in studs? Does he have a phone number where he can be reached?
