welcome holmes! I'm running stock as far as power goes so I will leave the rest to the guys that have actually built something up.

If the engine has good compression, I'd leave the short block alone. Check out the Trick Flow top end kit with the track heat intake. You can't go wrong with that combo! You just need some injectors, TB & Spacer, MAF, and a bigger fuel pump, and your set!

If you are just looking to spice it up then a Trick Flow top end kit will do the trick like horsepowerjunkie said.
