Another "recommend a cylinder head?" thread!
Thanks for the nod YR. I did it on the wife's car. I know the future of the engine. The "now" of the engine is another story.
The wife drives a Nissan Rouge 4 cyl. For what it is, it's not bad. When she wanted something with power, I say fine. I'm not handing her a vehicle of half the weight and 5 times the power off the bat.

The head gasket will get thinner later with a bigger cam and if need be, a head milling to raise the bar some more.
You might not want to run that small cam in a near 11-1 engine. Not the best idea IMO. Pump gas is a best of 93 rated. Actual may vary some! LMAO!
