Exclamation Lextreme stage one cylinder head

hi all, im fresh baby new to your forum, as madea would say...??? HELLLLLURRRRR

is the lextreme stage one cylinder head worth it? im going n/a only. i know nothing of turbo much less a mostly custom turbo set up for a 1uzfe, lextreme seems to be about to offer a a 5000$ custom turbo kit. if i was rich AND could pay for labor i would do it. OBVIOUSLY turbo would be ideal, but ohzz wellzz my 1995 sc400 has 134,000 miles, minty mint condition, i had ppe headers installed, replacement oe 0bd1 "highflow" chinese ebay cats, stock y pipe, dynomax bullets. all 2.25 to 2.5 pipe.

anyways heres the cylinder head specs for stage one. i will install cylinder head, adjust timing, recheck valve clearance, BUT DO YOU THINK THIS WILL NEED A PIGGY BACK OR STAND ALONE ECU? upgraded injectors? or just the lextreme FMU? yikes fuel management and ecu tuning, makes me go full retard

You only need ported heads when you decide you NEED ported heads.

It's usually a last resort, after EVERY bolt on has been done and a good matched cam/header combo has been chosen.

No reason piggyback would not work, but standalone will give you more tuning options.

For that kinda money what kind of increased flow numbers and they claiming? How about just rough estimate of hp increase? I always loved the idea of a ported head/cam/longtube sc400. Sounds like it would be a blast.
