1. Port heads and intake and get .194 valves
2. T5 swap
3. ZEX kit
Ok, I've always said that I want to get the most out of my combo. My next step was to port the intake and heads and get .194 valves. I'm calculating this job to be in the $400 range. My question is, is it worth it? I mean, my next 2 steps were to get the t5 swap and then a ZEX kit. Should I just jump over to step 2 and forget the porting? About after a year or so of running the ZEX kit, I wanted to get a supercharger. I want to go through these 2 power adders before getting the turbo, just for fun.

Just a thought here ........... OK

You might pick up close to the same power from the trans swap as you would from the head upgrade

Yeah i would skip the head porting do the other two and then wait till you can afford a good aftermarket head.

i would do the t-5 swap. that should keep you happy for awhile. then the zex kit. by the time you get sick of all that stuff, the head p&p prolly won't be worth the effort.

Sorry guys, I replaced my sig with what I have now. I have the GT40s, not the Ps, I wish. Thanks for the input, I still don't know what to do though.
