Yes Fox Lake Racing. Both are very outstanding and have a great reputation and have been around for years. Cant go wrong with either.
I have used Livernois with LS heads, very happy with them.
After reading some not so flattering comments on MHS and reading "quoted comments" that the owner said. I would be hesitant.

Aside from Livernois and Fox Lake..........anyone used anyone else? What about TEA?

I dunno how far back the comments are MHS but the original owner (nick maybe?) has passed and I think it’s justin Jordan that owns it now. They’ve got a shop under another name as well that builds motors etc...
Kris Starnes work is Stellar, people in the know are very familiar with him.
I had my original heads repaired 4 or 5 years ago by Modular head shop when 2 passenger side valve seats dropped. They rebuild both heads and replaced all valve seats, seals, etc. Been fine so far. "knock on wood".
OK I don't want to put out bad info. So I will say the bad I heard of MHS was when Nick was the owner/operator. Sounds like most of the grief was from him.
I think it’s the same people as excessive or xcessive motorsports or something like that. I know some 2 valve guys have spoken well of CNC Port as well
I actually work at livernois and know a few friends that run our heads. Never heard a bad thing about any of our head work.
Also have a friend that’s getting a shortblock built by mhs, so far he’s pleased as they’re communicating well. He’s already about 1-2 weeks past the original build date goal but just about every engine shop misses deadlines lol.
Whoever you use just make sure they are known in the modular world. These heads are intricate.
Slawko, Livernois and Foxlake all have killer CNC programs for our heads however if you are a DC casting they will have to hand port to avoid the water jackets. Kris is about the best hand porter out there, I've never seen an MHS head so I can't say much.
I use Livernois due to communication and speed but Ron at Fox Lake is basically the best in the business.

Did not know you work there! Any chance you can get GT500 heads without a core?
Other than the couple week extra lead time on getting my heads back, I haven't had problems with MHS. Granted this was a few years ago. Usually emailed back within the day, phone calls were hit or miss. I think they are partners or owned by Excessive racing.
After dealing with multiple failures with local head shops I shipped mine off to Livernois and had a good experience. They cost a fair amount more than local shops but its worth it. I tried calling Fox lake for price comparisons but could never get a hold of anyone so used Livernois. I hear they're both great at what they do.
We actually have a pallet full of GT/gt500 heads.
