The TPI intake I mentioned from the start of this post
WONT REQUIRE hundreds and thousands of dollars in machine work! Come on dude! They only need to add some more aluminum material to the original anchor holes and then drill new ones to mount to my engine heads. This, and an extrude hone of the entire intake manifold. This will hardly cost thousands of dollars!

I'd say that if OP needs to rebuild their engine anyway, some modern internal surface treatments seem very reasonable. A kill switch is superior to DFCO in almost every instance, and far cheaper to retrofit. Adding lean air mixtures at part throttle would probably be my #1 recommendation if you're going to re-tune it, before any head work.

Instead of start-stop technology, I would be willing to invest $3000 if this kit would work on my rear-wheel drive sports car.
