fixed it for you :P

You definitely seem like you need a turbo. Boost that baby.

Umm, does turbo sound good to you?

im pushing 140k on the odometer and im iffy about putting any sort of pressure into those cyliders even though most of the miles are highway. if i were to boost than i would have to rebuild... ill be honest, im also iffy about tearing into my motor cause i don't wanna jump timing like i almost did on the cams and blow the motor... ive thought about a new throttle body or like a 75 dry shot...

Ehh, do a comp. test and a leakdown. If the comp numbers are good. Boost it. Or rebuild it, then you won't have to worry. But definetly turbo is the way to go.

haha you have 140k miles and don t wanna go turbo ? i spun a rod bearing 4k ago but my compression test is perfect and the car runs strong as it is, and even I am going turbo.....pussy ! j/k

just make sure your oil setup and fuel delivery are good, i m not gonna install my turbo until i am 120% sure that my oil feed and drain are good and that I run rich and not lean...and keep it at ~7 PSI

Given the amount of time you have before you get back to play with it, why not consider picking up a premade bottom end? You've got three months to go, bro.

Consider Howell or Exile for a pre-assembled shortie, then get your head milled when you return and bolt it together. Just like that, you've got a spare engine in running condition to drop in, should any problems arise.
