If that list is all you are planning on doing to your head you will see minimal power gains. Now add a set of cams (pick a grind that matches what you want to do with the engine) and you would be talking reasonable power gains.

Also what are you considering building this head for???

with just springs, retainers, valves and a valve job? maybe like nothing. add cams to that mix and then you will see gains.

get cams instead of P&P if you haven't already done it, if you have then I would stick with Portflow/Alaniz.
