The head mods above will improve gas flow through the head/engine, the easier an engine can get the air in and the exhaust gasses out the more power it will produce.

What sort of power are you looking to achieve??

With a 1600CVH, I would personally stick with a Standard or, at most, Mildy Ported Head until more than 230 ish BHP is required. This will retain the punch.

More power with less boost would be a guess.
