Cams wont do anything for you. The only ones you may see any gain with is the 20v NA cams. If for any reason you need new pistons and/or rods, send me a message, i have 20mm piston/rods together and ready for drop in (needs new rings).

pas6201 <= this guy has a stock AEBhead for $450. He just sent me a pm about it a couple hours ago. Might be the easiest thing to do. Then you can send me your old one

ive been talkin to him about it but i cant afford what he wants for it rebuilt. i was talking to one of my friends at forcefed engineering and they said they can rebuild it w/ new rods and other misc. goodies they have layin around the shop (sorry i dont know all the little parts they said). im gunna get it done for $900 and about a week to do. that means this week im gunna yank off the old head, send it to them, and start on my body work. these next two weeks will be some of the longest days of my life, im just prayin its all worth it in the end. ill probably end up sleeping at the shop half the time. and the worst part is i wont even be able to do my final paint job cause i dont have a lot of the flake im using, and i really wanna flair the fenders, but all my money for new shoes and stance is goin into the head.

yeah i kno. but it sucks when your sooo close to getting something...but then you fall wayyy short.

i got my car to my shop today, but i didnt have much time to look at it. im trying to bribe someone that knows what their doing and local into helping me with it. ill just do some body work for them if they need it. im gunna take the head off in the next day or two and bring it to my buddys shop to have it machined and rebuilt. then its goin back in and a new timing belt kit also.

im finally gunna get a chance to fix the body work while its stuck at my shop, so this may turn out really good in the end. its gunna b a hell of a lot of stress until then, but i think itll b worth it.

but some new shoes would be awsome to top it all of, im gunna put in a ton of hours at work to try and get both[&:]. we'll see. i keep this updated.
