They're fun to drive, let me tell you.

This will help a lot, but if the car is daily driven, you're going to lose a lot of the creature comforts that make driving it enjoyable.

The block isn't as important as the head, but you can pick up more power through increased compression ratio. You can pick up a little compression by milling the head down more, but it's not the best route to take. Additionally, depending on cams and head work, you'll need to wind the engine out to 8000rpm or more, which the stock rotating assembly won't be too happy about.

Appreciate the warning, but you should seriously remove that thing. Why risk damage to the ECU or electrical system?

A nice mod, for sure.

Venom Intake Manifold
Ouch. I think you should ditch this thing. It's designed more for a turbo car, but Bullett has used one on his all motor car before. Don't recall his thoughts on it.

3in Exhaust
Too big. 3" means 300hp in my book. Yes, it will flow more at red line, but at the cost of low end, which is what gets you off the line quickly. 2.5" will allow you to pick up more low end torque while providing increased gas velocity in the top end as well.

Headers 4-1 (Frowns in dispair)
4-1 is actually ideal for top end. Either way, headers don't do much for these cars. Dig deep enough and you might be able to find a true LTH on here which will give you serious gains.

What do I need to do now?
Do lots and lots of reading. There's a bunch of threads when I was building for all motor, but Mark has pretty much dominated the scene for the last couple years. Search the perf/eng section for all posts by BullettDSM and you'll get all kinds of crazy ideas.
