I'll look into it. I have no plans on upgrading the engine just trying to get the best performance with stock components. 
I was actually thinking about getting my engine rebuilt. We'll see. Hey we've been having alot of problems here in South TX with all the flood water.

I thank god it hasn't reached the area where I live. Some surrounding towns are flooded.
And water keeps rising... Anyways well my engine has a slight knocking sound in it and i've lost some compression. I was thinking about the engine rebuild and a new oil pump. It deserves a new life.

OK. Header news!
first i started it with open headers, loved it, so loud i woke my grandma up from her nap and the house could fall down around her and she wouldnt wake up sooo its loud.
hooked the pipes up, still kinda loud but it was tame, i didnt take it for a drive cause i still got a few things to button up, but she makes some torque now
sittin in the drive it was twistin the body when i reved it, lots of torque, i would deffanatly recomend headers.
