ok guys and gals,
Here's the most asked question. What do I do next?

My goal is to have a fun street machine that I can occasionally take to the Road Corse and the Drag Strip.

I've got all the stuff in my sig below. I still need to install Maxim Motorsports Full Length SFC's and the Strut Tower Brace. I've also got some Pro3i Adjustable LCA's to go on in a few weeks when my installer is available.

So Most people are going to probably say Heads + Cam + Intake + LT Headers.

Great! But what brands? Who should I have to the P&P job on the heads? But a kit off of eBay and send the heads out? LT Headers, BBK? Get them Jet Hot coated right? How about a "better than Stock Cam"? Which one to go with?

What about doing more suspension?

Is there some basic Bolt On that I've missed?

Lots of questions. I hope I get some great info back. Thanks guys and girls.

swap in a 99+ PI motor, or swap PI heads and cams on your NPI motor.

Would it be cheaper to port the non-pi heads and get better cams, rather then buy PI heads? Just curious...

I think the PI heads would still flow better, even if you ported the NPI heads.

98 is right. Some guys were saying that NPI heads could flow better then PI heads back when the PI swaps were starting.

I haven't had much time to keep up with the forums lately. So I'm wondering who has the best set of Ported Heads out there? Fox Lake?
