So my headgasket blew out and since my car has been down i am trying to see where i want to go with it. Always looking for input so please speak up if you have a comment to make.


1.)Alky Kit
2.)Bigger injectors
3.)Rear Sway bar http://www.hrpartsandstuff.com

Getting the headgasket fixed so if anything can be done thats not to expensive while this is getting fixed i might as well square it away also. I think i can have about 3k to spend to get everything done. Even if someone has some input on beefing somehting up on the car as in trans,susp ets etc i would like to hear your inputs.

Heads

Looks like you have good components. You would be well advised to take this opportunity to have your heads reworked. There is REAL HP to be gained there. Have a professional do it for you.

With 3k to spend you can do 1&2 with money left over. Ask yourself why the hg blew and you will justify 1&2. Port match the heads and you'll free up power. Alky is the best dollar mod (esp. for a street car) you'll do.
 
with a new camshaft/crate engine, I assume the stock type timing gears have been updated to steel from plastic ???

If not .... do it !! Double check if you're not sure !! ;)

If the heads are off, get them ported or get some Champion irons.
