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.

it does read below zero when its idling I guess I'm just scared of ****ing something up, and now I've been searching and st205.net said the gauge should have read around 13psi w/o the boost controller but mine only read 7. So if the gauge isn't working right maybe i'm running more than I think
