Id spend the money on a real header. On my old set up the sr16 pistons really only added around 5whp, they were the only mod and then I went right back to the same dyno and retuned... from 212 to 218whp...
Lol! If someone is keeping it simple and want a fresh motor, I recommend going this route. If the motor is healthy as it stands, I say spray the fuck out of it and call it a day. Its fun N/A but you can't compare it to the retarded amount of torque from a 75+ shot.

Quick questions for those who already did this:
-will stock oil pump work fine or 16VE-N1 can be used to fully take advantage of ACL or Nismo bearings drop off?
-stock headgasket will work again or aftermarket (Cometic 1.2mm) should be inserted?
-OEM 20VE headstuds will do their job or better to get ARP to join block & head seeking to avoid failures due to high CR?
