i have a mate who is running a 30/40 topmount, nizpro plenum, ems setup and he said the head made a phenomanal difference, it was the single mod he did that just made the power skyrocket.

ofcourse it makes a difference, if the head cant breathe enough you wont make the power. do the head julian (thats my name), lumpy cam, big valves and all that stuff, wil definitely get it goin, or maybe a twin cam head? rb25's r cheap, theres one on sale with all the goods to go for 800

well on a standard head with that boost the cylendar pressures jump up cause the ports cant get rid of the pressures, so with head work im confident it will hit 300 k/w wich is nuts in a auto
