Tuning cylinder heads
Ok so im going to be on the lookout for a set of cyl heads from a ver 5/6 STI for my new build.
im after information on whats the best to unleash power/effiency on cylinder heads.
cams?
adjustable cam pulleys?
porting and polishing? (IMO, cant see this doing much)
uprated parts?
what did you do and what gains/advantages did you see?
Thanks

Most of them seem to crack near the plug area, you need them clean to see it tho.

Just need to run four extra wires to drive the avcs solenoids, as for the advantages better spool, more power and the heads have shimless buckets as standard.
