why dont you just put a cam in its cheaper in my book and you have a new motor if you rebuild it.

With a Blower $4,000+ slap that on then motor goes out then you are spending another couple grand to rebuild it.

I would go cam thats just my opinion! Good Luck!

Just watch how big you go on the cam. The stock heads wont let bigger cams breath like they need to.

I am a senior in high school and I am not stupid by any means. I know the value of a dollar and I know that running boost takes a lot of discipline and MONEY. I would recommend saving more of your money for college first buddy. Keep yourself as debt free in the future while you can

With ANY power adder build like S/C or turbo, assume atleast $10k with accommodating parts and whatnot
