    Headers, rockers, and whatever pulley you can safely run, and a tune. Depends how far you wanna go, but that should make a quick and reliable setup. Do all maintenance and fix any existing problems first, though

    Welp you need to reread that thread several times. 104s are not needed at this stage 606s would be a better choice at your current stage. 160 tstat isn't doing you anything either but the stock tstat back in.

    If youre going to change t-stats, get a tune for the fans and knock sensors at least. Also 606s will be better for your setup. You can get some speed daddy headers (slp knock offs) from ebay that are decent for the price. Start with flow mods first and dont touch the pulley until you at least open the exhaust up more. Also buy something to scan for knock with.

    That's why I went with the 104s. I had a knock issue and the t stat went with 160 cuz temps would reach up to 200s

    Id go with a 180. the knock sensors dont come on until 160* iirc. Thats one of the many reasons for a tune

    Overkill is a good place to go. Where are you located? An in car tune would be better
