Default 93 dx accord advice needed

i have a 93 dx and was wondering about somthing..to bump it from a 125 hp-140 hp like the ex's, do i just have to swap out the heads or are the cams dif too?

is port & polish/angle job worth it on stock ex heads?

id like to hit 180 n/a hp on bolt ons (i/h/e & under drive pulleys) and maybe a lil internal work
(heads swap,cam & higher comp. pistons)

too high of a goal..? or

I would say keep the F22 if you plan to boost it

Otherwise if you want to stay N/A you are far better off going with the H22

if i could get the hp i would rather n/a but if i had i would put a couple psi on it.

is there no after market head for the f22..ive already dropped around $900.00 in the f22 so id like to keep it since i wont get that back out of it.

*i like the powerband way more on the f22 than the h22.
=h22-non vtec..havent droven the vtec h22
