yea it's not gonna be thattt fast, might be able to take a few more hondas but nothing extreme, like you said its only 2800 for a star kit, seriously man just keep saving, you won't regret it

I wonder where they get the horsepower estimates for each "stage" of portwork. If it depends on other engine modifications, what other modifications are they talking about? Methinks a turbo. Considering the head is half the engine and there's not much else you can do to the rest of the engine aside from a different CR piston, I/H/E, I would highly doubt you see those kinds of gains from that sort of thing.
Not to beat a dead horse, but given the stories about simple things like EGR block-off plates being fucked up and that turbo kit that's being posted all over the place, I can safely say this is not the shop I would want taking a die-grinder to my head. No way in hell.
If you've got I/H/E/UDP done, the next step is to get inside the engine. Realize that any money you invest at this next level is monto sell it. I would only get this sort of shit done if you are dead-set on keeping the car long term.
As for what sort of numbers to expect, expect to have to go to a shop, strap that bitch to a dyno and report back.

Oh yeah. One more thing...
il·lu·sion n.
1. A. An erroneous perception of reality. B. An erroneous concept or belief. 2. The condition of being deceived by a false perception or belief. 3. Something, such as a fantastic plan or desire, that causes an erroneous belief or perception.
Not saying anything about the company in general, but maybe not the most reassuring name, in my opinion.

I agree with Kain I installed my EGR plate from them in July while on R&R and it was perfect.
