first question first.
what is your budget?

then go from there
i have found my engine is only as reliable, powerful, "whatever" as my
pocketbook allows.
100 hp is very streetable.
i use .040 over. but .030 is not bad, heck you can get a workable cam from
vic brits. for a decent price.
up the compression with head and pistons, decide on what chamber size, C/R
ya want. anything over 12:1 is not a good street idea. plan on using good
gas from now on.  i have 11.5:1 in my racer, and dont need to replace the
bearings as often.
but your gonna need to let it breath in and out too.
and yeah, this little hottie is gonna need a bigger drink to cool her down.
good luck
