i have no idea what a gude head is, i assume port and polish maybe cam etc, i would say no, thats alot of money that could go to a turbo or h22 swap

its not a bad price for what it is, however the F22b1/2 is a garbage motor for N/A IMHO

well, i dont have enough money, or resources for a swap. and a turbo would add about the same power as the gude head package.

yeah not quite, you can make a lot of power on boost, and potential to make huge power.

I have seen people with a cam, and bolt ons on their f22s, and they didnt make much more than 150 to the wheels

You could piece together a stage 0 setup for about $2000 if you can do the work yourself.
