Import Builders is doing my head

I called them a little while ago and it sounds like they're gonna do my head. They will do the "killer" package with all skunk 2 internals, skunk 2 stage 2 cams and everything included in that package. Do you guys have any other suggestions with my head or even my block? I'm runnind oversized civic type r pistons, shotpeened rodes and balanced bottom end including flywheel. I'm also running the Mugen high compression head gasket so I'll hit 11:2:1. Any other suggestions will be great while I wait fot the next month to get the head back. Thanks

IB Killer package is:

"Killer" Head Package: $1550 + shipping/handling
Comes with "special" Portflow head porting, valvetrain with Portflow inners, Ti retainers, new valve seals, hot tank, resurfaced, stainless steel black nitrided valves, with dowel pins drilled for LS/VTEC. This is a special job, done for Import Builders only. **Core required.

So basically you're sending the head to Importbuilders who then send it to Portflow. ;)

That seems kind of high... $

Portflow (non-"IB Spec" but includes hot tank & resurfacing) headwork - 900
Portflow dual valve spring/titanium retainer kit (includes ITR outers, Portflow inners, Portflow retainers) - 320
Supertech stainless steel black nitrided coated valves - 16 each (*16 = 256)
Total = 1476

So in theory the $74 covers the valve seals, "IB-spec" porting which may or may not really exist, and the dowel pins redrilled for LS/VTEC. Basically the same price. And I would imagine IB might cut you a deal on the cams, who knows. And uh, yeah. The price ain't that steep.
