Its a pretty basic setup for I/H/E. although in all honesty there is no need what so ever for the fuel rail or pressure regulator. youll just run rich and see no performance. the camgear is also questionable as youd be running a stock cam and all. other than that sounds good. save your money from the fuel and cam stuff and maybe put it towards suspension for a sportier ride.

 

That's the only stuff I would spend money on in that list. Your not going to get more than 30hp out of all those things without a tune. Why not dump money into the suspension? It's a lot cheaper to make a slow car handle than it is to make a slow car fast, and more fun.

 

Well, the Fuel Rail and Fuel Pressure Regulator are honestly for looks. I'm sure they'll help out somewhere, even though I wont feel a HP gain from a Fuel Rail and a Fuel Pressure Regulator, but it's mostly for looks. The Cam Gear I can have it adjusted right? I was thinking a 2 Degree Positive Retard for a little low-end HP & TQ. But the Cam Gear and Pulleys would be kinda for looks also. The pulleys however, I'm sure I'll gain some kind of HP &TQ from those, even though it's not MIND BOGGLING HP, just something to make my car a little more fun to drive...

 

why not go with an aftermarket cam? or do what finch said and go with the suspension.
