If you can hit granny up for another 100 bucks, get cams..if not V-AFC, and save the rest for dyno tuning.

He already has cams. I'd say V-AFC, FPR, dyno tuning.

Default Yah..

..doritos are good!

Ok, seriously. You cannot get 'chips' for your car unless you convert to OBD1, for which you'll need: a p13/p72 obd 1 ecu, obd1 h22 distributor and and you'll have to rewire for an external coil, and you'll need the obd1 injectors as they are peak and hold type, not like, our, saturated type. OBD 1: Peak and Hold: 330cc
OBD2 : Saturated: 230/240cc, and you will also need the resistor pack to run the peak and hold injectors, otherwise you'll burn the ECU.

Your money, do as you see fit.

Default Uhh..

...just the piston set w/ rings is close to $500; he didn't mention additional money put away for oh, you know, opening up the block, honing it, LABOR, etc. personally, my H22 benefited most, IMO, from an 8lbs fidanza flywheel, of all the, mechanical, changes I've made, this one made the most apparent difference.
