I'm going to shoot for a custom grind, as I'm pretty sure after this set of uprgrades the motor won't be touched again (well unless something breaks). Then I'll start focusing on a diet for the car and driveline/suspension. Though all that's going to be on a budget of sorts (not a lack of money, just no more large purchases for this car)... gotta save up for my 09/10 car

So anything else I should dig into other than valve seals? I was told on another site, rocker arms and such, not sure how much my crappy driving as hurt that stuff.

im sure the rocker arms and lifters are fine. Seals is a good idea, and checking the slop on the guides once the valves are out is a good idea too. IF they are crap go bronze cuz you can run a closer gap and still retain lubrication due to the porousness of the bronze.
