I wouldn't get the Crower stage 3 cams b/c they're too harsh for daily driving. I'd get the BC 3s or Crower 2s on a fully built motor with your goals.
DCR billet tensioner isn't a bad idea either.
Get the DCR head stud kit or budget head stud kit from them.
I would also recommend that you do some trans. work. Rage 3/4 fork, Shift selector, Input shaft, Rage-clutch pivot, snap ring.
I was kinda skeptical about me buying the clutch pivot from rage but as of recently I've been seeing a bunch of people breaking theirs so I think that was a wise investment.
Get as much as u can while the car is down.
I didn't think I'd be doing as much as I have but it is what it is.
