you could put oversized valves in there and some cams.

Just do a 3-5 angle valve good and port and polish. That's all you can do right now. Only cams are from Webcamshafts.com, and they're $650. It's a 5sfe man. It took me awhile to stop myself and say, "this thing is not worth it." I read post after post. But I actually talked to a guy who dumped a ton of money into a 5sfe and did all the stuff I wanted, and he then swapped in a 3sge and said he wished he never would have done anything to the 5sfe because it was a total waste of money. I'd just do a couple little things so that it's fun to drive, and save for something worth it.
