hmm most of that would be things i would do any way
skunk2 intake manifold, they are light, pretty damn big compaired to stock, and pretty cheap (~250)
i planned on upgrading the valvetrain, im not sure which way to go on that, trying to balance cost Vs: proformance, most likely look into ctr or itr valvesprings/retainers i still need to look at cam pricing and then skunk2 camgears
as far as pistons im not sure, i may end up doing that first, just because i would rather get them in before i get the motor in the car, but i dont know if some ctr or other oem would be best, or some aftermarket brand.
i would most likley do the valve train as a later part just because its alot easier to do, i want to get the hardest stuff done before the motor goes in if i can, also will most likely get a mugen (or other brand) metal headgasket to raise compression
and as for the piston question, i would use the CTR pistons, the ITR pistons will drop your CR. Put the CTR pistons and a mugen headgasket and you're looking at an 11.8:1 CR, which should be pretty nice on oem parts
