    Both are not a good idea at all.

    Unless you're going to spray meth or N2O.

    my water pump bearing is starting to fail.

    it screams on a cold idle till it warms up a little.

    it will use less energy to turn the water pump.

    bad idea.

    namely because cooling is good.

    Yep you're to the point where you're gonna need to start cracking open the valvecovers or doing a intercooler to get more power.

    do a cam or some rockers, youll see huge gains from the cam depending on the size. Rockers not so much, its just something to do.
    1.8 RR's, Speed daddy headers, 180 stat, Open Cone, GBP tune, 3.5 pulley, and ported blower.

    that^ OR... save up just a tad bit more money and cam! youll love yourself for it. Also with a cam its a gateway mod you can drop to crazy small pulleys (aslong as your tuned) and run bigger TB's its just a better and overall idea. Plus there is nothing better then hearing that sweet loping sound at idle!

    well okay, but since your going roller rockers, i recomend 1.9 with #105 springs and comp cam push rods for the most gains even though theyll be minor you should still feel the extra power towards the top of your shifts.
