Porting & Polishing cylinder head... any tips? (90 SPG)

Hey everyone... yeh, it's me, posting AGAIN,
I'm probably going to be ordering my Lesco, Crower Stage 1 camshafts tomorrow evening. I won't be able to install them until this winter, or until this coming summer. I figured while I was going into the engine I would replace my head gasket with a Swedish Dynamics copper head gasket. Also, a friend of mine, John Weber (86 SPG) in CPSC, bought me to a local indy SAAB shop, and a mechanic there said he did some porting and polishing on his H*nda, fairly easily. I can either give him a cylinder head and have him to the work at the shop for only $100, or use a friend's machine shop and do it myself in my spare time. I found a c900 2.0 cylinder head for under $150, and plan on having this done one of the two ways. I will have a SAAB shop install the Crower cams, SD copper gasket, and ported/polished head when everything is ready.
Before I go at it, does anyone have some specifications I should follow? How much to grind out of each clyinder? Then again... $100 isn't too bad at all!
Should I also buy the Swedish Dynmaics hi-po valve springs while I'm at it?
Like I said, I'll be taking my time on this project, so, I'll post results in... about a year ( ;
Thanks in advance everyone!
