Clean the heads up and get new valves,a valve job and good springs (if you can ports them,or buy alum. heads,I just dont know how much you want to spend?) and a cam.

Not really...but if your valve springs are shot (how many you got on the ticker?),then a cam wouldnt do you no good.Or atleast you wont be able to increase your rpm range any...

Get some used GT40s and a 70-76mm MAF meter. Stick with the 19s.

With that many I dont think I would bother now...I would say let it go for another 20K or whatever than just rebuild it.

Can you put a bigger shot in?

Thats obiviously the cheapest...

Other than a set of gt-40's, it sounds like you've run out of all the cheaper mods. Time for aluminum heads and a cam.

save up for heads and cam, there is going to be a pause in your modding while you save up for the big mods. Youll thank us for it.
