What do you guys think, 1st gen 3sge head on a 5sfe? Options

Of course I will be boosting this so technically it will be a 5sgte. But I was wondering what the pros and cons are with the 1st gen 3sge head? I like the intake manifold on the 3sge but I doubt it will flow as good as the 3sgte manifold.

I have access to dirt cheap 3sge heads and it would be an awesome project.

Would love to see what a 5S-GE does NA....

3S-GE is nice and revvy, goes like a bat out of hell between 5k and 7k but suffers from no torque down below

I read about a 7A-GE project once though and the guy mentioned that the low end torque was a good improvement over the 4A-GE but the engine was unable to sustain 6000 rpm and above (possibly due to that compression loss where he used the 4A-GE pistons in the 7A-FE block)

I looked at Ice23Q's dyno video (5S-GTE at 16PSI) and hes making on average 50 more HP at the wheels than some of the other 3S-GTE swapped FWD Celicas running similar boost levels, at 6600 RPM too (and still climbing even with the redline approaching.)
