Default Any shops around that do good head work?

I'm hopefully getting my inline turbo kit installed this summer and I'm wondering if some head work would benefit me.

This is my list so far

-InlinePro Kit (log manifold)
-Tail 44mm wastegate
-Precision 6165 BB turbo. (Was recomended this turbo over the GT35R)
-Hondata boost Solinoid
-inlinepro oil relocation kit
-3mm headgasket
-inlinepro 3" cat back exhaust
-coolant lines for the bb turbo
-titanium dual valvesprings, keeper and the seat
-InlinePro 3mm head gasket

I already have RC 750cc injectors and the AEM EMS 1052U.

My question is would head work help yeild more HP?? And where or who would do a good job around the WI/IL area?

I was planning on having AMS in the Chicago area do the installation and tunning.....would they also be good and port and polish for the head??

This is going to be a stock bottom end.

My goal is at least 500whp.

Maybe a Water/Meth injection kit would help too.....?

Thanks!!

cost to benefit ratio of headwork on a boosted motor makes it impractical. up the boost.

That's what I've been hearing........mmmmmmm....Maybe I'll just up the boost then.

Stock motor with 3mm headgasket should be able to hold 20psi.


I'm probably going to need 20psi for 500 whp with the inline kit.

Hopefully AMS can tune it with 92-93 oct gas.

One Six does great work. Had them install my inlinepor kit. AMS tuned, over priced but did a great tune.

AMS seems like the best place so far....Hopefully I'll hit 500+whp this comming summer then!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think I'm going to get a Water/Meth injection too.

imo

water meth injection is for ppl that dont choose to install a 3mm hg. Its just kinda hacky. You can hit 500+ w/o the water/meth.

Few things...


1. 750cc RC injectors have some issue at near 100% duty cycle. With 500rwhp, you are pushing the limit of those injectors.

2. I would NEVER push 500rwhp with just the 3mm headgasket. It will be fine for short term, but in long term........
