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.

i would keep it at 14-15psi, but take care of the code 1st.

check alltrac.net. some of those guys have a water to air cooler and probably know how to short out the sensor so it dont throw a code.
