If your going to be paying for a set up then yes its well worth the doing the headwork beforehand.

at your spec tho be very careful not to get carried away with massive ports opened out to the gasket lines etc. it will drive awful with no low down response. Choose your head work wisely and dont get carried away with quotes such as full race as it will be shite on your spec!
