you will need to upgrade throttle body, intake, and exhaust
and injectors, and fuel pump, and more so keep all that in mind.
Wow, I didnt know I would have to replace anythin else. I figured they would put regular new internals in the engine (rather then performance internals) to give me the same hp etc from when it was like new from the factory meanin that everything on the car would work with the new rebuild because same hp and all??
that stuff only needs to be replaced if your aim is to produce a lot of hp. (~100 more than stock).

a basic rebuild will consist of new bearings, rings, gaskets, oil pump and shaft and new hardware. (might as well go with arp)

i believe it stands for american racing products or automotive racing products.

either way they make hardware for applications where high strength is needed. (head bolts/studs, rod bolts, endcap bolts, etc)
