Default Port and Polish, where to go?

I'm looking for a mild port and polish for a Y8 head, can anyone point me towards who to go to? I don't want to spend an ungodly amount of money, and really am only looking for something basic. Any help would be appreciated, searching didn't come up with anything all that useful.

Thanks!

Any well known, reputable shop should be able to do it. Some like to get ready made setups using your head as a core exchange. Either way expect upwards of 700 (assuming pricing here is around the same where you are)

I sell and recc the CNC ported heads from R&D dyno ihave tested (both flow bench as well as dyno) many many differeny head configurations from some of the top companies on the market , and found no better results than these CNC R&D cylinder heads. There are however good hand porters out there but when you use a CNC 5 axis machine to do the port work you are guaranteed the exact same port every single time. We also offer hand finishing on top of thw CNC port.

That's where my head was done, with excellent results. He is in Florida, which might or might not be a problem for the user who is in Pennsylvania.
