I'm beginning to think that well ported exhaust side but retaining the stock exhaust valves and using these cams will result in a HUGE midrange torque monster and get it prepared for boost.

THe ide I have is to take the 2.5L, machine out the combustion chamber where the shrouding is. Put in at least late model 2000+ pistons or nice aftermarket pistons. Port the hell out of the exhaust. Remove the secondaries and actually combine the runners.
For added fun, slap a fatty turbo on it with a moderate trim that will spool a bit quicker, maybe more like the T25 but with a bigger compressor.

Yep, if you leave the intake ports as-is and just clean them up a bit it should be making great midrange torque.

PS - I'll be selling m GT28R when I get me new turbo.

I too plan on doing light head work on my heads when I do my rebuild so as not to kill the low rpm torque. I'll be hogging out the exhaust side a bit though.

Thanks for all the comments guys, I think I will be sticking with an NA setup just for ease, ans other reasons for now, so that being said I will have the heads worked on, what is that little bump coming out into the bowl for, can it be removed without ill effects, what are the sizes on the valves from 3L to 2.5L. the guy had a five angle valve job done but doesnt know if they are bigger vavles or stock. also I was thinking of hit 11:1 or so with some aftermarket pistons, who makes good ones for a good price, remember also there 20 over. what is going to be my best bet intake wise, svt, 3L, plastic, metal. I want good low end troque but also want screeming high end. keep the ideas coming guys and thanks again for the input thus far, oh and I need to figure out what to do as far as tuning, my plan in to find a svt pcm but what codes are the easiest to work with, what do you all recomend as far as software, sct x-cal2 or the other laptop tunable tweecer thing or whatever it was.
