Boost it....only way you'll see power out of a D-Series. You'll be upset with the amount you spend for what you'll get in return.

If you're not boosting it? Nothing.

Also, your car only has one cam. Cam, not cams.

If your thinking about buying new pistons, you definatly want to replace the rods too. Main weakness of a d-series. It's hard to give you advice on the rest though because we're unclear of the goals/application of the engine.
