Default head work, bottom end work too

ripped apart my spare head today... gonna take it to a machinist and get some work done.

first, here is my objective:
to make more power all motor without eliminating the possibilitly of going turbo in the future. dont wanna run crazy boost, probably 8psi for a benchmark.

im gonna get a 3 angle valve job so question #1 - who has had one done and what kinda power gains did you get? did you dyno it or are you using your brain-dyno for a reasonable estimate?

for cams, im looking at crower 402's... good idea?

for springs im not sure which to go with... i saw crower 68181 and 68182... the 182's are stiffer... should i go with the stiffer springs?

valve recommendations? i dont think i wanna go oversized.

for my bottom end, i think im gonna keep stock c/r 9.2:1

should i bore .010 over, .020 over, or keep it stock bore?

crower makes "econo-rods" says they are stronger than stock but not as strong as their top end rods.... bad idea? should i just pay the extra money for something stronger such as eagle h-beams?

should i get a block guard? what kind, where can i find it?

i know thats a lot of crower gear, im not hellbent on buying crower, i just know them as a reputable company and since i was on their site anyway, i figured i might as well check it all.

thanks :thumbup:
