why not?

to raise compression, use the y8 head gasket and for budget, you can mill the head a bit. I dont recommend that usually since it will leave you less room to play with on piston height if you ever decide to build up the bottom end.

you can get some good times on the sohc non-vtec. on our head packages with bolt ons, our customers average about 30-40hp gain to the wheels on just stock bottom end.
