Juts get your stocker ported. You could see anywhere from around 5-10 rwhp from it. Also the electric water pump will net some some small horsepower gains aswell. The problem some people have with the electric water pumps is that they dont last as long as regular ones.

If you have the money, you could also go with a FAST 90/90 setup but that gets expensive and may not be completely worth it untill you have some aftermarket heads.

Bottom line...just port your stock TB.

Port/Polish your own TB, then save money instead of spending on E W-pump and buy set of AFR 205 heads/78 mm Fast intake.

Getting the Stock TB is worth it.

T-body, waterpump, and UD pulley should put you at the 400rwhp mark easily.
