Depending on the heads that you go with, a good H/C/I is worth any worth anywhere from 260-300+ horsepower. I'd also do an intake.

what would u recommend that would go with the b303...as far as the heads and intake manifold?
also would i need to upgrade anything else on the car w/ these upgrades?

Everybody will say afr or trick flow heads, but if you're on a budget GT40s are thumper E7s will get the job done well.

The trick flow street heat is a nice intake, though.
