Another post on here almost got this question going. So it got me wondering....
With the plethora of knowledge and experience that's here on Moparts, you guys know.

What shop has it figured out and is the best at CNC porting heads?
Is it a different shop for BB heads than it is for SB heads?
What is it that sets them apart from the others?

Depends on exactly what head. I don't know of a shop that has programs for every available BB and SB head. Modern Cylinder Head here in Michigan is a good source for a variety of heads.

I doubt that anyone knows the answer to that question since it would take a bunch of money and even more time to figure out.

Guys like Dwayne Porter see a lot of heads from different shops so he could probably tell you which heads to buy and which to avoid.

I also think there is a lot of specialization between the shops. Chapman was the place for the Stage VI heads but who knows how good their Indy program was. Maybe Best Machine has the best program for B1 heads but they might not have the best W8 or 5.7 program.

Bottom line is that nobody has enough money in this business to be the best at every single flavor of Mopar head.

Fastlane is a couple of guys who used to work at Chapman. I believe they have the Chapman programs so if anyone wants some Stage VI heads done right that is the place to go.

I've had Fastlane do repair work on aluminum heads. They do super nice work and they charge a very fair price. I think they are the place to go for guys in the NW.
