Well, getting a full head work done will reduce the chances of detonation and make it run smoother. If all the combustion chamber are within the same spec, as in if they all are the same size, it will definitely run smoother. Not to mention it'll increase efficiency, more power with less boost, using less gas.

Also, all the cylinders will be producing pretty much the same amount of power, making it last longer and increasing power again.

If his head is within the factory spec, it'll be fine for those power goals. Will it run better if he gets other stuff done to the head, of course, but its not necessary. At that power level, the way to avoid detonation is to get a proper tune and make sure the fuel system is perfect.

I'm a whore for efficiency, so I am somewhat biased.

Please do the headwork when rebuilding it will bite you in the a** if you dont.

Head work > Boost.

I think when he said head work he meant porting and polishing, titanium valves, etc. That stuff really isn't necessary. What IS necessary is getting the head rebuilt. Change the valve seals, take it to a machine shop to get checked out, and make sure everything is in spec. That won't cost you more than like $200.

No I wasnt talking about upgrading. He just needs to replace everything that you just mentioned.
