msd distributer, msd 6al ingnition box, and i tfi msd coil
a billet adj. fuel regulator (30-100 psi), 24lb fuel injectors,
bkk long tube headers
bbk h-pipes w/o cats
flow master 2 chamber exaughst (american Thunder)
cobra intake (i think but it look like a normal one to me)

of course they'd help, try ebay or craigs list but no aluminum head is gonna be cheap, expect to spend 900.00 to 1100 for a used aluminum head pending what brand, I have a set of edelbrock rpm 1.90/1.60's for 875.00

if you want to keep on a budget you can take your e7te heads and have 2.02/1.60 cut into them then do a little port work and they flow the same as afr165. I looked at having it done and it came to 450 including valves from my machinest.

Did you fall down and hit your head on something or did your machinest hold a swinging watch out in front of you for a few minutes? lol

If you want a reciept you get it from the person you buy them from stating you bought them used and appox mileage if possible. Getting the recipt from where they were purchaced new falsifies the trure documentation of your build. It would be like me asking the previous owner of my 85 Coupe for the dealer invoice to put in my build records.

There's no way in HELL you will EVER get a set of ported E7's to perform like a good set of aftermarket heads. Granted, a good set of ported stockers can do well, but a good set of aftermarket heads with revised port designs are always going to be ahead of the game. And there's a lot more to making power than just what the head flows after it's been ported.
