Rebuilding the head

We are pulling the head on my 2001 S2K and we plan to use Supertech springs and retainers, and Honda valves. Also a port and polish. Im planning to turbo later so im not going to change cams. Any thoughts, suggestions?

Make sure you install new valve guides as the factory guides do wear.

i hope it runs and performs alot better, i got the S2000 with 90,000 on it so I probably don't know what an optimum running S2000 feels like
