Hey, i have a motor, completely built bottom end(short block) and a turbo. Its actually Philly Oranges motor. Anyways, I bought that(am still paying) and I was wondering, if it has a completely built bottom end, what else can i do to it..for top end performance i guess...like pushrods,valves,valve springs, cams, cam gears, valvetrain, intake manifold, injectors, fuel rail, fuel pump throttle body..anything else i would need to do? Also, does anyone know where to get this kinda stuff for our motors? And, any idea on cost of pieces like these?

Any input would be greatly appreciated.Thanks.

Our valvetrain has no pushrods.

What power are you looking to put out, what do you want to spin the motor up to and what are you using it for (street, drag, etc)?

Stock head or is it ported/etc?

If you are going to replace valves, etc then have the head machined at the same time. Try to get a hold of TurfBurn or flatblack. I think they both have pretty good head work done.
