Default Who to use for a cylinderhead

Im taking my cylinder head of in the coming weeks to get it ported, however im not sure who to use from both a value for money and quality perspective, I dont want to go big valve, just ported and polished and possibly reconed at the same time if required. Any suggestions welcome along with possible prices. oh and for those who dont know its a 4x4 cossie

DAMICO 01953 717784, speak to Darren, who is ace and not mega expensive, though he is a bit snowed under at the mo, worth a ring though.
Well experienced in this filed.

if you do get your head ported, don't forget that the chip in your ECU will need to be adjusted to suit the new flow characteristics

To do all the inlets opened up big time, and ported etc, 5 hours work was £235 including the dreaded, at Damico, who also has engine dyno's and a load of other services.
