Default What to do with my 862 heads?

I'm getting my financial aid check in next week and I was wanting to do something with my heads since I have my big @$$ cam with stock heads. Should I get them ported and polished, 3 angle valve job, milled??? Give me some suggestions please guys. There are tons of machine shops in this area (Gainesville, Ocala, and Jacksonville), so if anyone knows of a good one feel free to chime in as well.

That sounds good but I don't think the LS6 springs will hold up to .588 lift will they?
