Building the head for HP in this car seems to be a lost cause. Most people who dump crazy amounts of money in seem to net pretty sad results.
Alaniz head that sideways is selling nets some gains but for $3000 bucks it's still not anything amazing, though if you go that route it is SOME gain in a motor that's hard to gain on otherwise.
I built my head for safety's sake not for hp gains. There's probably other places to dump money to net better gains honestly but I'm not saying your direction is a bad one.
You could play around with ap2/ap1 internals to end up with a high compression motor for cheap that would probably net way more power for cheaper but that's just a thought.

I'm basically doing the same thing you did. Building it primarily for safety measures rather than Hp gain. I was just curious as to if I would see any kind of difference in the Hp. Also I'm curious if it's worth the money to buy dual valve springs rather than the normal single ones. I just want to do it right and not regret leaving something out 2 months down the road lol

Idk why but for some reason I went to PM you about the head you have for sell and it wouldn't let me. Most likely user error on my apart, but I'm definitely interested in it. What's the price you're asking?
