"with the FI you could be kind to the earth without ruining a hi-performance cat"
So, you're saying that getting a high-flow Cat like the Magnaflow ones (?) would give me about the same performance boost while keeping my emissions clean-ish? That would be preferable, of course.

Re: milling the head - would a cheaper/easier intermediate step be to replace the gasket with the thinner one from KG Trimming? How complicated is this going to get? I mean, it seems as though I'll be ending up with tons of loose parts (like the valves and springs and such) and replacing every gasket I come across. What kind of a budget do I need to put aside, and (other than a torque wrench) what special tools are required?

Any guide as to what needs to be removed along with the air pump?
