cam would be my first choice, rockers only do a small part of the cams job (they only change lift) changing overlap, duration and even lobe separation will change the whole engine

tuner. Thats 500 dollars you wont regret spending. While i would agree on a cam I wouldnt agree on a cam without a tuner.

You could port and polish the LIM and heads. If your feeling really ambitious, stroke it.

i wouldnt stroke it. thats a lot of money to throw into that engine.

way before i would think about stroking it i would put a cam and heads on it. the only reason to stay n/a is to build up a mod base for a turbo or csc later.
