Default Ported Y8 head worth the effort?

Well I already bought the head and a spair Y8 intake and throttle body. This is to swap onto my Y7 in my 96 hatch. I torn it down and was going to port it. Then I got to thinking, is it really worth it? I just ordered a rebuilt super 60 and I am in the process of making a ram horn. I guess I was thinking I could sell the head and intake and buy some rods or something else. What are your guys opinions? Is the ported VTEC head gonna make a noticeable difference?

Thanks in advance
Dave

i think rods and pistons would make more of a difference. cuase then you can run some big boost. plus that super 60. im sure that it will make a differnce if you end up doing it though.

Yeah I already have the head but I may not have money for a while for rods and pistons. I guess I will just continue with the plan to Port and Polish it.
