Can anyone suggest a good machine shop?

[Torque]

Hello. First post. Might be in the wrong place.

I have a 2004 SVT Focus and I want to get some headwork done. I'm going N/A for now, but I have plans to breathe on it in the future.

Do any of you know of a machine shop that can do a good valve job and port and polish for less than the price of my first-born? The place that takes care of my small-block doesn't fool with four-bangers, so . . .

Any suggestions?

Any contact info, reviews would be appreciated.

I called Scots' Yesterday. The rates on the valve job was right on time, and i could tell he knew his shit when he said -- "Nah, we don't port and polish. I mean, a lot of guys'll tell you that they can do it, but you got to have a flow bench to do it right. We don't have one and i'm not sure of anyone closer than columbus that does . . ."

Any body know of a shop close to/in ATL that has a flow bench. You know, "a head shop?"

Yeah, but I'm new to ATL (not to GA). My old machine/head shop only deals with v-8's (like in my Falcon )

So I'm looking for someone with a good rep here close to home.

Sunbelt is probably abut the best you can get... They do most of the SPEED World Challenge cars and all sorts of other stuff. But they are pricey.

Sunbelt is very good, and they know what they are doing. but i dont know anyone locally wiht a SUNBELT ported head that makes power that can show dyno sheets. my .02. not saying they arent capable, but i would let anyone locally besides mickey port my head. i personally send all mine out
