Houston porters?

I was wondering if anyone knew of any quality porters in the houston area? I was looking at getting my heads and intake ported. Also, if they were economically priced that is a plus. I've read from others on the board $500+ is around where it's at. Also, if you can give me some flow numbers to shoot out at them, that would be even more helpful. With that set up I will be adding Jet Hot LT's, 3in/2.5 out Dr. Gas X pipe w/high flow converters, 2 borla mufflers, and 3.42's. Plus my other bolt on's, I'd like around 450 hp. Let me know and thanks for the help. Also, going to add a cam...what is a powerful everyday driver?

GTP and MTI are in houston if Im not mistaken. My advice would be to take your heads there and do 500.00 worth of work to them..

Do you think I can get decent numbers for $500? I've tried contacting MTI, but everytime I do they tell me to call back in a week or they are full. Their webpage shows some of their costs...pretty expensive...http://www.motorsporttech.com/fbody_engine01.asp
Almost $2000 plus exchange

Do a search for Lloyd Elliot or NightTrain66. I know and have seen two guy's (personally) that are very happy with his work. He is in Dallas/Ft Worth.

Call Randy 832 215 0605 and talk to him. He gets our shop killer prices and has about a 3 day turn around. You'll be very impressed w/ what you get for the price.

Every one has their favorites. I like USA Racing Engines Inc. (The WOP SHOP) on Dillion near Hobby Airport. You get what you pay for.
