Just get the PI Head swap. Not sure if you know this but that comes with PI heads, PI cams, and PI intake. Definetely get the PI head swap asap. You shoud be seeing above 220 rwhp. I'm guessing you will be seeing around 240-250 rwhp with all those mods. You can buy an ECU chip to get you more horsepower.

I say save up and get the PI swap AND port&polish those heads, then you would probably be looking like at an extra 100HP, but with just the regualr swap w/o porting expect 60HP.

save up about 2 grand and you can get a stage 2 p&p from patriot performance and it comes with a set of cams also. that would be the best route. you should be about 300 due to the increase in static compression also. if you don't have a lot of cash then do the PI intake and cams. these are well worth the money.
