ok thanks! with that would it hurt to do bigger valves, valve springs, shave the head and put bigger injectors?

If the installation is done right it won't, like has been said. However I think the limits on for a cam in a I4 engine is like .475". Only times I've seen a higher lift was in trucks with upgraded rotating assemblies along with bossing and milling of the valvetrain. Something to ponder...
