Fully Rebuilt Head?
I've researched, about a year ago. My car is built: Wiseco Forged Pistons, Pauter Connecting Rods and new bearings all around. The only think i didnt touch was the Crank. But yeah, I think I got it covered, better than people with decompression plates atleast...

yeah, you have done, and did so much research about your parts and your car, and you ended up getting a shatty system GTR TB, and you have the WORST engine management you could possibly have for a turbo tib. doesn't seem like you did much research in those areas, and the engine management being the most important of all areas when boosting and tuning your car.
yah, you have pistons, conrods and all, but you cant even tune the car to utilize any of it with the SAFC.
well i never got on a site like this to read up on some of the products.. i knew my phantom grip limitied slip differential was a bad idea but i didnt wanna do any one leggers while i was driving. my "managment system" is nothing but a 240 dollar part i bought from my buddy and im planning on upgrading that anyway if u havent seen my other posts. and hte throttle body, i didnt really u could do a bad design on a throttle body even tho i broke mine: it broke off of the flange becuase the accual tube was a separate piece from the flange (it was bolted on) so i just got it welded until i found another-hense my other posts
i kinda wanna get haltech e6x, but the dude who installed my apexi is an aem dealer/specialist and is kinda pushing for the aem standalone system so im not sure what i want to do. just depends on money i guess: buying it, installing it, and tuning it.
if ur gonna do 20 p.s.i and thinking about getting new cams you can go to kspec.com for a set of turbo cams. But if your planning on going all out and thinking spending $400 on your head is going to do the trick wrong not to be mean. if your going to half a$$ your car, why do it at all, you will end spending more money in the end cause of things breaking and or not getting the performance out of the product. i say if you want to do your heads plan on spending round $1,500-$4,000 unless you can do it all yourself. As for leaving your cams stock and re-doing your vavle springs and retainer bad idea, from the research i've done on-line, just send your heads off and get crazy on them. and if you plan on getting a intake manifold to help airflow your goin to need to bigger throttle body to match up with your intake manifold.
