:rofl: but yea, they are definitly worth every penny. You can typicaly gain 100 HP from a race built head with a stock motor (Agressive port and polish) and more if its got some mean cam shafts! The site I linked you to sells heads FULLY BUILT which means you pick one for a 1.8 liter B18C1 (the motor in your car, and a great one at that) Buy torque bolts (just tell the guy at the dealership what kind of car you have and he will get them) And IF you feel comfortable, slap it on. If you dont feel comfortable you can have the guy at the dealership do it for you, but its verry simple. All you kneed is some wrenches a torque rench and a HELMS manual. Start with a HELMS manual, you can learn ALOT from one of those.
Import Builders' prices do not include a head, you have to send yours in or you can buy a B16 head from them for $650 and ad the cost of the headwork to that. You can get some good gains from headwork, but I doubt you'll see anything remotely close to 100hp just from headwork, regardless of what cams you run. I'm not sure what you mean by "torque bolts", but I'll assume you mean ARP head studs.
