Well, the time has come. My dreams for power have surpassed the limit of my stock internals. My shop has recommended I go with Manley rods & CP pistons. As far as the rest, I'm clueless- What have some of you done in the way of cams, valves & springs. Also, how much power can the stock GT crank handle? Is it worth getting the Cobra crank? Are there other options?

Of course, money is an issue, but this needs to be done and if I can save $ in the process that would rock.
