People do seem to get decent power with them, from what i've seen. However, it would be debatable if ya'd get the same amount of power with a 5 port head with the same engine mods, i'd be thinking..

I kinda like the BMW K series motorbike head conversion. Twin cam 16v.

Yes they do give more power with twin Webers etc. Better midrange torque. But they cost too much $$$$ unless it's a race car.
Race 5 ports are now giving over 150HP from a 1380. Ask Graham Russell.... :wink:

I've asked about doing the BMW motorbike head on my mini, but from what i've heard, even though it DOES fit, it involves WAY too much work.... to the point where he said it was easier to go vtec.....
