It's hard to improve on the Honda ports. Don't try changing them unless, you have a flow bench. They can go backwards real quick. The best thing to do is to just remove the casting slag, and shave the head. They only have 9:1 compression. It is safe to go to 10.5:1 with premium pump gas. The compression makes a big difference on the SOHC engines. Compression is also a benefit with the 836cc kit.
