my supra died about 6-7 months ago and have been too busy working too save up the money to get her fixed as soon as posible but it's kinda hard with the money going to school and the car but finally got the machine work and the parts paid for. now just need some time off to work on it. wondering about "head bolts and head studs"? which would be better and why? and would it really benifit me to get a header and a intake for the time being cause it's going to be about 2-3 yrs. before i have the money to go turbo which is my ultimate goal

? i just want a little bit of power increase for the time being cause i have NGK iridium pulgs and 2.5 in. manderal bent exhaust with an apex N-1. any advice while being NA for the time being and going to NA-T in the future would be greatly appreciate any info. into the right direction. tried searching but nothing would give me a definite answer. if any are qurious about the damage done to the motor pm me and i'll send the pics. didn't think this could happen to a NA. sorry for so long of a post

thanx in advanced,
Derek

Derek,

If you are staying NA for now, I highly recommend you remove the Apexi N1 exhaust (I know it sounds amazing), but your car will feel a lot faster if you remove the N1 exhaust and put the stock one back.

weight reduction, header, good hyper voltage system will help.

for weight reduction you can even do the little things like strip out your trunk, backseats, cruise control actuator. that also cleans up the bay. if your crazy do airbags too and the airbag ECU. AC is a maybe too?
