If you are putting in BC cams, put in their springs at the same time! Agree with others, do not change your intake manifold set up. Spacer and non-revup is the best bang for the buck and very close to best overall performer.

Install Revup oilpump or Nismo (better but costly) if you want to push beyond 7k rpm.

yes my mechanic had a painful time taking out the bolts off the oem exhaust manifolds. They actually had to take my engine out.

You can get other light weight pulleys for the other components but save the life of your engine and stick with the stock (or ATI pulley)

Are you going to do any port and polishing with the upper plenum or heads?
Hey Rubidium, I too have included UR stock sized pulley set in my NA build. I understand what u mean in regards to the pulley not comming off, but why would you want to take them off? unless they went bad. I know the gain isnt very noticeable, but ive done some reasearch and ive read that when combined with a light weight flywheel and perhaps other breather mods, they really help out through out the powerband.
