AFAIK, the 5SFE is an "economy," not "performance" motor, and not much is available for boosting output easily/inexpensively (am sure you could custom build it up for more power, but, in the long run, is it really worth a major expenditure for a bit more power ??) Swapping to a 3SGTE is a better hp-to-$$$ value, I believe. If you have a fast bike, just be content with reliable, somewhat torquey, power from a stock 5SFE in your dd .... it could be worse

... MUCH worse (ever driven a 3 cylinder Metro ??.......................................)

colt cams, and webcams can both regrind you a set of cams for the 5s.
we recently dynoed a 20whp gain after 4k rpm with a set of webcams on the 5s on 6gc.
