I have a stock 3rd gen 3sgte from a 96 jdm gt4 in my car and I'm thinking New cams, valves, head gasket, head studs, valve springs, and a port and polish. My car is a daily driver, so i don't want the reliability to got to s***. I also don't know if the power gain would be worth the money.

Just looked at your pics. I don't know why you were running so little boost w/o the mbc. Start twisting the knob about 1/4 turn, then run your car and see what your boost gauge reads. You are gonna feel a HUGE difference in power. Bring it up to 14 psi and you are gonna crap!!!
