K-Pro EMS. If you want to add anything more to your motor, like boost, or go to a full all motor build, you will need a very good EMS to back it up with.

K-Pro

Well since you have maxed your options with bolt-ons, K-Pro is your logical next step. You could do pullies, IM (woo fab would be fun), but when it comes down to it you really need EMS to get anymore.

Kpro then headswap, done

Kpro is basically a reprogrammable ECU. You bring it to a dyno tuner and they can adjust Air fuel etc etc. It tunes the car specifically for your mods, and there is no limit to how many times you can change it. You can have it now for all motor, and down the road if you go boost you can get retuned and it will still work etc.

Not that cheap, and unless you can do it yourself then even more money for not much HP. Plus you'd still want Kpro to run it.

Internals? Yeah, cams,springs and retainers. Just those parts are going to run you like $800+ then to have them installed in your head.......at least another $300-500. Then another $850 for Kpro, along with $300 for a tune. So say about $2k for just the head to get done. I dont even want to get into a complete engine build with rods and pistons etc.

$1k and you'll be set for any other mods you do down the road. Always have the adjustabilty etc. Its a wise investment.
