i'm finally making my shopping list for my car. i'm over at howell making a huge list. my rents are going to cover it then i pay them back with my settlement check.

"1 x Crate Motor Short Block 2.0 Litre 420a without core
1 x The AFX Solid Front Motor Mount Diamond Star
1 x AF/X 30% Underdrive Pulley 2.0 Diamondstar
1 x AFX 55mm Bored Throttle Bodies
1 x Fidanza Engineering 2GNT Cam Gears
1 x Crane Valve Spring Sets DOHC
1 x MSD Coil 96 1/2 -03
1 x Pacsetter Header 2.0 Litre 95-99 Armor/Ceramic Coated
1 x Aerogear Evo-X Front Bumper Cover 97-99
1 x Aerogear Blitzz Side Skirts 95-99
$3,877.75"

i need body work done too so that's why the hood and stuff is on there. and finally one little question.

the motor is going to have 10.5:1 psitons. i'm debating on which cams to get. i plan on possibly a low boost turbo setup. would the #16's be to much on the NA side? i'm sorta confusesd about it because the motor is going to be run NA for a good while. boost will prolly be a project for fall. or something.

i'm also looking at these VT guys. i saw the sponsorship banner and figured i'd give a click. anyways they seem like they can do about anything. the howell site was really just to get a price list of everything and possibly order after i figure a little more out.

the bored tb should be upgraded to a modern performance tb

the pacesetter header thrown out the window..

there are many better headers for not too much more...

16# are fine and can be used ina turbo car...
