springs and retainers at the minimum.

heads and intake should be done too, as well as using that E303 for a doorstop or a hood prop-rod...

its gonna be done eventually, theres no reason to take it apart twice...

the trick flow ones they make for the E7's will do fine, but E7's are the bane of anything fast...
