Re: How much HP with head work?

Yeah. It's going to be awhile before everything falls into place. This is where it gets expensive, and I'm kinda broke. But, it looks like I won't be dropping the car this summer and spending all that money on the head.

I know there's really no way to tell... I was just looking for a ballpark figure. Should I change the valve size? Would it be worth that extra money? I'm going to get the head ported somewhere else (not sure where yet) and I may be willing to spend that extra money depending on the gains we're looking at.

Something else I didn't realize too is that this head job will chnage the sound of the car alot. With cams and larger everything, it should sound like a beast.

Any ideas are very welcome here. Thanks.
