I know what you mean on getting the money back, if you can't port it then just make sure you do the other steps right of having a good set of valve retainers and springs ... BC springs are pretty good and affordable as well.
The most affordable and safe route that I took was
- Circuit sport rocker arm stoppers
- Tomei poncams
- BC valve springs and retainer kit
- Tomei/Nismo 740 CC injectors (they're made at the same factory)
That's all I did with no built bottom end and other bolt ons to hit 400 BHP

I've already got the BC0200 kit just waiting to be installed with the rest
As far as the Tomeis go, I love those cams. I don't want a really agressive cam because this is a daily driven car. I don't need a blapblapblap idle at red lights haha.
So I think this is the route i am going to go
JWT S3 cams
GReddy cam gears
BC0200 kit
And brian crower stainless steel valves.
Depending on if I get the porting or not will determine whether or not I get the +0.5mm, +1.0mm or just normal sized valves.
Edit-I am in contact with DriftSpeed down here in SoCal and seeing how much all of this would cost. I want to go solid lifters also. I don't like Hydraulics at all.
Editedit-Tomei Poncams are almost $100 cheaper than JWTs and allow me to use solid lifters. I think I will go that route. 260 or 270 is the question now.
