Yes. My car is up and running. i dont have the turbo on it yet, just an ebay intake and stock lx manifold. But ill bet you i can still beat an RSX (base model).
Heres what i had done to the head (dave did everything himself)...
Reformed intake ports
reformed exhaust ports
Dport designed exhaust ports
race valve job
ported stock intake manifold
polished combustion chambers
port matched intake manifold
port matched exhaust manifold
port matched gaskets
swirl polished valves
I also had Dave set the valve clearances and head torque.

i posted this in the other thread so im posting it here:
Im in, how much for Everything!(so if i got in this GB i would need 650 plus however much it costs to ship the head?)
i think i can only come up with 650 i wish it was a little less...And if i send my head without getting a core how much downtime am i looking at.
i might not enough money for Everything...but i need some more power!! im tired of stupid bolt ons

Rep Power: 313 I am sorry for the discrepencies in the prices. The cost of the high end port work (my head) is $850 + core + shipping. There will be lower port jobs, and i will have prices on those later. Dave Hickman and I are going to the track in about 2 hours, so i will talk to him about the pricing then.
And yes, it made a HUGE difference. 5.5 psi with the headwork feels stronger than 9 psi without the headwork.

Also will I have to upgrade my fuel system. I am going to see if my mechanic still has my old hydrolocked engine so I dont have to be without a car. If he does I am prolly gonna do it next month.
i am Only interested in the high end port work...I will try and get the money...how much time am i looking at?
Hey catalyst can you tell me again everything that was included in your P&P job.
