Blueprinting will not do anything. All this means is stripping the engine and making sure the components meet the manufacturers design tolerances.
Don't think that is strictly true. Blueprinting is the first step in any serous tuning, but makes a difference on its own. Tony Scott (used to tune Honda UK's RC's etc) used to get featured in PB quite a bit and the first thing he always did was to blueprint the engine. I'm pretty sure PB did a comparison of standard versus blueprint and were amazed by the difference, smoother and more torquey.
