    Valves, springs, and titanium retainers. Im running crower springs and retainers. kit costed like 360 i think (its been a few years and they are rated for 9500+ rpm.

    Im running ferrea valves and i think they were like $3 each. If ur gonna do one now and something later, do the valves first bc the head has to be off. Springs and retainers can be done with the head still bolted down. You can do oversized valves if u want but have to get new seats put in which cost more and i have a biased opinon on the cost versus power gain on oversized valves ne way but i went with stock size valves.

    You can get ur head ported and polished but it takes a reputable shop to do a good job and depending on how much power u want to make it not really neccessary.
