Well, I ended up grabbing ANOTHER P11 VE head.... This time instead of a well used stock one, it was one that has already been prepped. Has oversized supertech valves, full port and chamber work by 5523 Motorsports, WPC treated everything, and new N1 cams with some JWT valve springs. Also has Inconel R35 studs on the exhaust side. Lash is all done, so it's basically ready to be bolted on. Picked this up from Juan at Bardabe Performance. It was going on his personal Z32/VET build, but he is consolidating projects, so I swooped in to save the head, LOL.
Now the question is: Do I rock the N1 cams to see how they do, or do I pull them (and the springs that are meant for N1 cams) and swap in the Kelford 184-ST cams and Kelford beehive springs that I have sitting on the shelf? Bad thing is that I'd have to reshim the head (not the end of the world), but I'm curious how the N1 cams would fare with my setup. At the moment, I still have an EFR7163, buuuuut, I've been considering swapping that out for the new EFR8474. An industry friend of mine who was on the pilot program for tuning the new black series EFRs was raving about that turbo and it's capabilities.
