I wouldn't think it would help at the top end. if you had a goood set of heads it might but with those ported e-7's thats probly about as high as your powerband is gonna be.

I really doubt 1.7s are going to do anything for you. Those E7s may flow worse at max lift with the 1.7s than they would with 1.6s. The heads are just not designed with high valve lift in mind. Also, if you haven't changed the valvesprings, the 1.7s will exceed the maximum .500 lift your springs were designed to accomodate.
