You also need to get all of the other bolt ons (headers, catback, CAI) before you do your heads. If you are going invest in new springs lifters and pushrods I would definately spend the money on having your heads ported and polished and maybe even upgrading to some 2.0" 1.55" valves. The 58 mm TB is overkill. A mildly modified engine just won't be able to rev high enough to utilize a TB of that size and could infact hurt your throttle response. Plus, you can't go bigger than a 54 mm TB with out porting out your intake. I would recommend a 52 mm TB.
