I have a stock 3rd gen 3sgte from a 96 jdm gt4 in my car and I'm thinking New cams, valves, head gasket, head studs, valve springs, and a port and polish. My car is a daily driver, so i don't want the reliability to got to s***. I also don't know if the power gain would be worth the money.

ok the reason my car was inly at 7psi is because it doesn't have a wastegate actuator because it was broken or missing when the clip came in, so it defults at 7 pounds. When they did the swap he did wire the coolant level sensor together but he didn't do anything about the pump being disconected. The only thing to do about that is find the right resistor and bridge the pump conection, but they said its nothing to worry about and it won't affect my car. So up my boost goes.
