depends on what your definition of good is????..mine is .......skip over all the factory produced heads and go straight to aluminum but that coupled with a matched combo can be 1500.00+....but define what your goal is with a build first and then that'll dictate what type of parts are recommended

i'm not sure. I mean, right now, my car is basically stock. but i want to improve the sound and performance. I'll still be using the car as a daily driver. Right now its just everyday stuff like to school and work and such, but next year it'll be to and from college, so nothing to extreme.
