Harm? doubtful.
Increase performance? Maybe alittle.
Risk of it decreasing performance? Yes, it is a risk.

I would stay away from it unless you need it to raise you rev limiter because you have aftermarket cams and drivetrain. As this is not the case.

Cams, cam gears, valves and valve springs...the valves and valve springs being the most important. But if you are going to do all that work you might as well port and polish the head as well since it will be apart anyway.
