Well I a have 410 gears, flow master cat back, custom catted h-pipe,
Super chips tuner, ford racing shorty headers, k&n drop in filter

I was thinking stage 2 crower cams and some comp valve springs/hardware
But I am worried about valve to piston contact

if you got the cash do the heads and cams...thats my next mod along witha 100 shot.the heads and cams should give you a pretty good power increase.if youre lookin to do cheaper mods u could get a short throw shifter, control arms, pulleys...nice lookin car by the way.def my fav color

I would go with a head and cam combo or at least a cam...What are your future plans? Forced Induction, Nitrous, N/A? I would get the cams to match...Pick up the springs and such that the cam maker recommends...

Besides the cost for the forged internals, how much would it cost for a shop to do it?

I RECOMMEND GETTING INDUCTION DONE. A CAI,T/B,U/P AND A C&L MAF WILL FREE UP BREATHING. WITH THAT DONE HEAD WORK AND CAMS WILL MAKE AIRFLOW OPTIMUM AND MAKE IT COME ALIVE! MOST CAM KITS ARE PLANNED AROUND A STOCK MOTOR IN MIND SO CLEARANCE ISNT AN ISSUE. OTHER THAN THAT PULLEYS AND SOME TYPE OF ASPIRATION OR BOTTOM END IS NEXT.
