want my heads port/polished

first i did a search beacuse i was trying to find a specific thread. im almost 99% sure it was this site, but i thought some one here in the v6 section ported/polished heads if we sent them to them. beaucse my only local machine shop is like insane at $650/pair. i really dont want to spend that much, and then i rememberred of some one on here saying they would port/polish heads but i dont remember who it was, and more inmoprtanly how far away they are. any info would be awesome.

if u send me urs i can turn them around alot faster,if i place an order for a set of heads today it would take me prolly 1-3 weeks before i have them in my hands.
i can do the heads in about 1-3 days once there in my hands.
the 250 is for a ported set with stock springs/locks/reatiners,for an extra 100$'s i will install all new comp cams valve springs locks and retainers

well i bought this from summitt
p://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=CCA%2DK16%2D233%2D4&FROM=MG

and i need new valves, but dont know where to get them, but the springs i can put on myself.

but for extra$ will you put in new valves


http://store.summitracing.com/partde...4&autoview=sku
would it be better to just get this and pay you the extra $100 to put on the springs/retaniers/locks this way the heads are all done and i dont have to do nothing but put them on.
actually i will probally do this.

also how much hp do you think i will see, im running pacesetter headers full 2-1/4 true dual exhaust will glass packs

That's the same cam I got. Came with lifters and a t-shirt for $100 delivered. Actually, looking again your LSA is 110 - mine is 112.

Negotiating the heads now.
If you want, I can mail dave the heads comming off the car when he is done with my second pair. Then you can send me your heads once you get the ported set. This way the only time your car is down is the time you are swapping the heads (you will have to pay for shipping of my heads to Dave). My current heads only have 88k miles on them too .

38k, nice find! Mine has never seen snow either, but I suppose because it doesn't snow in Florida! LOL
If you click on the vbgarage icon under my username you can see how clean mine is. How's your interior (sorry to jack thread)?

Delta Camashafts is where I got the cam/lifters. Give them a call, depending on your location from them it will cost you as little as $100.
EDIT: For close to the same product.
