raise your compression, maybe get some crower 404 cams, upgrade your valve springs and retainers. an edlebrock intake manifold or blox, may want to look at maybe getting your TB bored or a new TB not to sure what bore though someone else could you more with that. header maybe something like a megan racing 4-2-1 header not sure how much you looking at spending, and about a 2 1/2" exhaust so it can breath better but nothing too major. and most of all make sure to get a good tune. i know i am forgetting some stuff but i know others will help out on that. here is another thing too, what have you, or, are you looking to do with your suspension?

Yes oversized pistons mean you'll have to bore the cylinders out to match.

That gets my vote. throw in the tranny along with crower 403's, i/h/e, and maybe a intake manifold and tb combo. Remember you have to tune the motor when completed so save enough for that (don't know what your budget is) Here is a little list for ya.

Crower 62403 cams
Dual valve springs & retainers
blox intake manifold
bored throttle body from maxbore.com
intake/header/exhaust
tuned with hondata, chrome, etc. on a dyno
*along with that tranny you will be well enough off*

im still confused on the cams some people tell me to get the 404's and some tell me to get the 403's, i dont mind spending a little money to get the 404's...but other thent hat wats really the difference?is one better for daily driving or are they both good for daily driving?and if i get the dual springs & retainers up to how much can i safely rev the motor to?

403's are more streetable and can be put in on a stock block. the 404's are a rougher idle and need a compression boost to fully take advantage of thier power. On both set of cams you need the dual v.s. and retainers. you can safely rev the motor to 8k then but might not need to depending where your power curve ends.

the reason why i mentioned 404's was because when i saw you were looking at some different pistons i thought i would suggest them. you do need higher compression for the 404's to get the full advantage. 404's cost the same as 403's if im correct. 403's are more streetable but with a good tune and everything the 404's will still be fine for the street. i guess a lot of it will depend how much power are you looking for? and do you mind a little more of a rough idle.

then yes, go with the 404's if you are looking for that much.
