1.8 rockers and pems would wake your engine up.
1.8'* can be had for pretty cheap from www.wbodystore.com
and you could get pems from www.hulkspeed.com

you should holler at sales@3800performance.com for your pcm. i've got a '96 and he said that they can flash a PCM pretty quickly. i think he said @ $150.

also, i think you should put a set of 1.9:1 rocker arms on it that will maximize the gains of the mods you already have 
. by the way have you ever run your car? what were the #'*?

i don't know were you've heard that :?. in fact, the 1.9'* have been recomended to me by many sources for my g/f'* L36 Monte Carlo you will just need to change your vavle springs and retainers to new stockers if you have a good bit of miles or 105# comp cams if you get a tuned PCM from 3800performance.

1.9'* move the power band up further then the 1.8'* and it'* hard to get up there with a heavier car and 3.05 FDR.
Not to mention you don't need to upgrade springs with 1.8'*.

actually i got to wondering...my cars got over 100k miles on it, how much longer do i have on this engine (already did the intake mani at 95k and ive been usin mobil 1 ever since it was taken from the dealer (new)) so im not too sure if i wanna do all this work to it just before it craps out (GOD FORBID), so how much does it cost for all the parts if i was to do an engine swap if the time cam (is it very labor intensive or can it b done easily in a weekend, my father and i know what we're doin when it comes to engines?)
