Re: next mod??

swap out the peanut cam and install some aftermarket heads. a big bang for the buck would also be swapping out your 2.73 gears to 3.42's or 3.73's.

Re: next mod??

You could start opening-up the intake with a Extrude Honed stock, or after -market, manifold base, and get some larger runners. Get into tuning (I should practice what I preach on this subject...) early on in your mod program. There are several cylinder heads and camshafts available.

Re: next mod??

better cylinder heads and a cam swap will give you a noticable boost in hp, the crap like underdriven pullies is rarely effective in a noiticable way , you might gain a few hp, but nothing like the 60-80or even 100hp a good set of aftermarket heads and a decent cam will provide.
if your not comfortable going into the engine, have some 3.73 rear gears and a 3000rpm stall converter installed
