OK so the gains are limited but present and measurable. Actually the numbers now are better than those we have read about in the last year so we are making a little progress in the right direction.

So lets see some real number estimates on cost-
Parts
Head- $1300-1700+
Cam- $599

labor to install head and cam

Shipping
Ground to the coasts vs by boat to Hawaii.

Which ECU upgrades are tuned for the upgraded head and cam?

Yes they are present and limited, but gains are gains no doubt...

Randy has and ecu, i have heard for use with a head,

I plan to go the Apexi SAFC-II route, which would be tuneable to any mod but you have to Know what your doing to tune it, not plug and play.....Im sure someone could do some setups and distribute them for the apexi, but at that point you might as well tune it right.......

labor, it would be expensive for me to do it for you since you would have to pay for my trip to Hawaii( ) and im on the East Coast, at that point i would probably do the install for free if you put me up for a couple of days

Shipping shouldnt be that bad, for me from the East coast to Honolulu 2nd day would be around 106.00, ground it doesnt list, It is probably much less i would venture to say around 60 or so. Once again these ar estimates from UPS website

If it went ground, it would be one wet box Try fedex express saver. it is rather cheap.
