Combo looks nice and stout..you could look to suspension upgrades. I redid my suspension/upgraded my control arms/replaced bushings, and can't believe how much the overall driving improved on the car..hell car felt crisp and new again.

Click to expand...
Pull the lower and send it to Tmoss to be ported. While the lower is off being ported, take the upper to the welding shop. Plan on taking it to the machine shop after the welding is done to get it resurfaced and flat for a good gasket seal. That makes for a hard to beat combination that leaves $$$ for other goodies...
