Default Money, new heads and a good machine shop in Houston???

I'm still up in the air on the Heads for my LQ9 block I just got. One route i was considering would be the L92 heads. If not my other option is to use my stock 5.3 heads and have them port & polished. The reason I want to go w/the 5.3 heads is because of the amount of compression you get out of them so with a little TLC they should work out nice... Definetly at a stand still cause cant pick out my cam until this get settled... Open to suggestions. Thanks. ohh and still need some help on a good CnC guy in Houston.

Thanks for the feedback, what about pricing? Cause the 2 shops i was considering 1 of them is relatively cheap but the wait time is rediclous and the other good turn around time but crazy expensive
