Have you found a head to buy? How much? If you can get it inexpensively, do it. It should give you between 10 and 20 hp. (Assuming the same power gain between a DX and an EX) I forget if it was the 1.5 with 106 hp and the 1.6 non-vtec with 115 or if the 1.6 non-vtec had 106 hp. Any back-up would be appreciated.
