It all depends on what you want to do with it.

I would dump it all into track suspension and driving lessons and start road racing.

Most people would probably do a blower, tires, built rear and some drag suspension.

I agree with jmac...if you're gonna put that much into it, do it right by addressing the handling to go along with the extra horsepower. If you're gonna s/c it, save yourself the future headache and have the motor built to handle it. Maybe also an aftermarket clutch and billett upgrade for the trans. Man, it's endless.

get a whipple/KB, build the motor, upgrade the fuel system to handle the extra HP and build the rear end. if you still have money left over track tires and full suspension

forge the guts,
find a using KB 2.1-2.2
install and tune. thats the general thing to do.

(my personal choice) cheaper, and allows for a tune, and this setup should be enough to take care of 90% of everything on the road
all bolt ons
Full sub frame connectors
gears (4.10's)
LCA's
315 Meats in the back 295's up front
Tune
