forced induction...your head already flows very well.

"Skim the head a little more" means take it to a machine shop and have the gasket surface milled flat, required to repair any head gasket issue. While they are milling, ask them to remove more material.

But, you can only take the milling so far before you begin to change engine's timing/intake alignment etc, etc..
What upper engine parts? Are you going to spend the $$ for custom pistons, a re-balenced crank, custom knife edged rods, Ti valves and keepers.. I need more to go on the upper engine parts. Jonathan

flowing/porting ..ie improving the shpe of the intake/exhaust manifolds/combustion chamber... Epxensive time consuming work...and Very hard to find someone who can improve on an AMG head.
I'd still say a turbo pumping 5 or 6 lbs in would be the way to go. have a BIG water to air intercooler fabed up along w/ alcohol injecton and you should be good to go. Although you'll prob. want to have your cam Cam Dr'ed to see if it is at All suitable for FI..if not you'll need to get a custom cam ground. Jonathan
