i want more hp and i want it now but dont have the money, so i am laying out plans to get to where i want to be-hp wise. i'm gonna have to get differnt items at different times and they have to be in sequence so that they'll work with each other. i've narrowed it down to two different routes.

1. get some PI heads (whether they be basic PI of some ported and polished like the patriot stage II heads), a kenne bell 2.1L big bore with about 6psi (non-intercooled for now-upgraded to a 9 or more psi intercooled after forged setup), 3.73 gears,get forged internals w/ notched pistons(or forged block), front suspension(incl.:k-member, coilover springs, and a-arms,a big cam, all new transmission setup(incl.: tranny, clutch, flywheel aluminum driveshaft, and shifter), and finally solidrear end.

2. get some PI heads (whether they be basic PI or some ported an polished like the patriot stage II heads)and a PI intake kit, 3.73 gears, forged internals w/ notched pistons(or forged block-most likely),front suspension(incl.: k-member, coilover springs, and a-arms),big cam, Tranny setup(same as above), and then either solid end first followed by S.C. or other way around.

what do you guys think? which way should i go cause i need to be prepared since i am in college and will be for the next 6 years and i can't wait for the end of college to start my build, i want to start now buying as time goes. please help.

set up 2 becasue the pi heads will bump compression and it will nt mix well with F/I

so are you saying i should wait to get the s.c. after i get the forged internals? either way i have to get some type of PI head b/c my 96 heads are crap. do the internals lower compression back down depending on what you get cause i dont fully understand?
