Im with Joker 01z28 you will have to tell us how you use the car (Daily Driver or Race only) and what kind of Horse Power or 1/8 1/4 mile performance you are looking for?

you say you're gonna strip the motor down and rebuild it....you mean rebuild the bottom end or just the top end?

since its a daily driver you don't need a massive cam. but a good set of heads will go far.

milled AFR 205s or some milled TFS 215s would be good. and a cam in the low 23x, with .600" lift should fit nicely.

don't forget about the FAST intake on top...450rwhp should not be hard at all.
