Not really. most of the gains for a decent street head is in the valve job. There are several places around hear that can do decent performance valve jobs. I believe Clearwater cylinder head is the only place with a serdi so you might want to check them out. I wouldn't let any old machine shop hog out the ports on a honda head.

I don't recommend a PnP w/o at least a good set of cams or boost. Your engine simply isn't pulling in more air then your ports can handle.

However, I did manage to get a good decrease in spool time from the PnP that my machine shop did on my head.

I think they charged me 250 for the job. Good people. Just tell them Jeff w/ the Honda sent you.

Call them, see what they say. If you really want it done, go do it. Your gains will be minimal.

they dont do it inhouse but they have someone that they send them to. last time when i had some head work done there they were telling me about the guy and i think they were saying it starts at like 300 or so not sure. CCH does pretty good work though ive had work done there lots of different times and never had any problems and they are honest and don't try to rip you off
