would port/polishing your engine help at all?

And Silver, If you're ever in the mood to sell your EMS with UEGO gauge, I'll give you 1350 for it shipped (shipping would only be 10 bucks or less anyway).
I'll keep that in mind...but, since I'm saving up for S/C, and the plans are S/C, 9psi pulley, 660 injectors...I'm probably going to need it. The thought as also crossed my mind to upgrade to some titanium springs and retainers and possibly rev the s/c'd out to 9.5-10k. But I'm sure that with 9psi I'll be plenty happy at 9000 and 330-350whp

And as far as cams not adding any power, port/polish not adding any power, etc. NO we do not know...personally I'm sure they will all add a few horses. When naysayers said an exhaust would not add any power, we proved that simply adding a turboback exhaust can add 15whp. So I have to say, that yes, the right cams will add power, as will a good p/p. When I was considering the N/A route, I found that Toda Spec B cams are supposed to add about 15whp on there own...but you have to get other stuff with them...and by upgrading to them, you can get up to 20-25whp through the incorporated mods.

so who's dyno'ing next? I figure I'll have enough to install and tune my Jenvey's in about 3 weeks...I'll make sure 2nrwerks does a before and after dyno plot...one that I can actually KEEP this time (damn useless floppy's).
I'm shooting for 213/138 w/ test pipe, and 233/165 w/ the jenvey's
