Default Headwork on your boosted setup?

I know this may sound like a noob question and i did run a search but im in a little bit of a dilema. Basically ive got a fully built ls/vtec turbo, Sleeved 84.5mm, pistons, rods etc. My head was being sent to the machine shop it was lost by UPS and now they are covering me for $2000. Originally it was port/polished w/ a 3 angle valve job but i had an n/a setup so that was a must. I need to get a new b16 head and wondered would it be worth going for the port/polish and 3 angle valve job? Im getting springs/retainers for sure. The reason im asking is bacause i've heard that with boost you shouldn't really pay that much attention to getting headwork done, seeing how your running so much power. Although having this done will only increase it and it will flow better.

Anyway that's my problem and i wonder should i go ahead with it or not? I need your help H-T members, you guys/girls have helped me out before.

thanks,
GEN2TEG

Headwork is important in any car...just stick with stock cams.
