PnP is more so a mod left to N/A motors as all our turbo cars run stock heads with the exception of valve springs and retainers, we always run stock integ cams even in the typer's we run stock gsr. <-- that is totally debatable but with less overlap and shorter duration we find a little more usable power mid range. Good luck with ur setup, and everything ive said is always just my 2 cents

If your running a lot of boost on a very well tuned motor and assuming you have a hondata or speed pro, Ind. fuel management system that can raise your rev limit, all youll need is valve springs and retainers. Valves are nice but not totally necessary. PnP will increase Aflow but will not make your car run any cooler as I am assuming your talking about IAT temps. Bigger surface intercooler or carbon Intake mani will decrease your IATs considerably.
