In a week or so i'll be installing cam gears, udp, motor mount inserts, and an exhaust, now while this is all taking place what should i replace or add to it? I really cant think of anything else but i thought id post cause 100 minds are better than just one.

Depending on how many miles you got you might wanna do a timing belt change while you have the UDP off...Makes it so much easier

homemade ground wire kit

paint valve cover

wrap header? or... downpipe as the case may be in header wrap (well.. only if you like crackly brittle metal in that region)

have you ever replaced the tensioners and pulleys the timing belt runs on??? if so i would recomend changing those as well and the water pump.. it's so cheap it's a 'why the hell not'. and header and wrap sounds good..

my car will sound like, bumbabumbubavrooooooooooooooomrooooooooahhhhhhhhhhhhh, kishhhhhh

I'd upgrade your valve train as much as your budget forsees. At least the updated style lifter/rockers.

yea you could do that or buy dr1665's groundwire kit for 2 dollars more... and actually have a ground wire kit that grounds the freaking altnerator. it's basically the most important thing to ground if you're looking to have any benefit from a ground kit emoji
