Looks that way, I swapped from the 8 port head (previous owner had a JDM spec engine fitted as a replacement for original) and noticed quite a difference.

My machinist said that I should seriously consider getting some better lifters and I agree.

What is the cost of those solid lifters because I got a serious deal with a bunch of CA18DET performance parts which was in a car that ran a 10.5 in the 1/4 in Malaysia. Oh and BTW, this deal involves JUN cams (the best ones) as well.............We'll see.
