well it looks like youve already answered yourre own question (in your signature), since it seems like you're going the bolt on route, the next things i'd recommed would be pulleys, and a short throw shifter, maybe motor mounts as well... or you could quit fucking around with the cheap and nearly pointless shit and get serious and get a supercharger,

Well there are camshafts on both of those sites, if you can't search and find something on 2 sites given to you, you shouldnt be messing around an engine in the first place. ESPECIALLY if you don't know what motor mounts are.

lmao this is true though. i mean it would be kinda hard to do stuff to your engine if you dont even know what the things (motor mounts lol) that attach your motor to the frame are.
