pretty soon i will be changing the timing belt on my girls 97gs... we have done a few performance mods but kept it pretty mild overall... magnecore wires, bosch platnum +4 plugs, short ram intake, and perfomance exhaust can (matrix can, banazai resonated tip)

i am used to the 4g63 myself, i rarely do anything 420a related so any tips on upgrades while i change the timing belt would be welcomed.

i have considered cams, underdrive pulleys, and cam gears... but i dont know much about the n/a engine so what is worth the cost?

thanks!

if you doing timing, do waterpump. and if you want, throw on an afx udp.

t belt, water pump, maybe tensioner, pulleys, throw in a udp, maybe some cam gears

You are wasting your money if you throw cam gears on this point without Cams. Unless all you want is the bling.

If you have to spend money on a slow ass 420A, then build the engine for $1000 with forged internals and buy a turbo kit for 2500+. Othewise your just wasteing money.

as far as pulleys go id look at this one before considering anything else

you never need to use a pulley remover after installing it. it slips on, bolts into place, and thats it. This is the only pulley we use, and have had nothing but compliments on it.

i can vouch for the pulley SilverNT is talking about, he talked me into buying one and it was definitely a nice install when the thing just slid on perfectly. my engine definitely revs a lot easier in the higher rpm's now from it as well.
