Alky injection and a 3" pulley will get you there and you won't even need to pop a valve cover. Heads are very expensive unless you can find someone who's got a local hook up. Both intense and zzp charge an arm and a leg for theirs and that's not including the labor to remove the whole top half of the motor. I was lucky enough to find a fellow Regal guy who was getting rid of a set he had a local speed shop do for him so I got mine for 1/3 what others are paying. Exhaust manis are a pretty good mod if you only plan on going low 13's (w/out Alky) and aren't that hard to swap but you're not going to gain much. A ported blower won't do much if you cant get the air into or out of the motor. You're best bet would be to get a set of TOGs on. That way you improve your exhaust flow and have a good solid foundation to build on.

Sounds like you're getting the works done to 'em, but keep in mind they won't do a damn thing to improve performance until you get a high lift cam installed to take advantage of all the extra space.
