Head work?

[Jimmie]

Has anyone done any head work like polishing and porting, valve springs, or rocker arms upgrades ect.. This car is to too much of a sleeping giant not to be awakened.

You are going to wake up in the poor house if you try and do those things.

Are you speaking from experience? if so, what where the gains?

I have no experience doing those things. But from what I have seen on various forums, a fair number of those projects end in disaster.

My philosophy is that if isn't broken, don't fix it. If you want more performance, get a different car.

Maybe. Back in our hot rodding days that was fairly common, as was boring and stroking, but I've not seen anyone doing that on present engines. Manufacturing has gotten better also. I wonder how much gain is available if you did the polishing. Do you think they make an intake manifold so he can upgrade to dual quads too?

Today, I'd agree with Mark_888 and buy a different car

Start with intake and bore the throttle body. You will see a modest power increase. Can be done at www.maxbore.com. I did it on my '12 R-Spec.
