yup, what Bryson said ^^^^^

The head was actually designed by Lotus. It flows MAD! No need to port it for a turbo. The only reason for doing anything with it would be if compression tests show valve leakage, but that doesn't seem to happen to often around here. Some people get a p&p. I'd probably get one if I could affort it AND the downtime.

Vert5, are you wanting to know what to do for the engine to handle top end power, or are you asking what you can do to gain more top end power? Our engine's top end is pretty stout. It's been proven to handle over 400+ horsepower. If you want more top end power, then look to do port/polish, stainless steel valves (or Howell's top end kit), and raise the rev limiter (maybe with Howell Automotive's new ecu).
