Is there a different head i can put on this car to make it more powerful? and give it better tunability? 5s-fte or 5s-gte don't really know the difference between the two of those but any way could i change the head on my engine with another head so that way later on down the line all i'd have to do is get a turbo kit? i don't know alot about cars so as much detail as you can give would be greatly appreciated.

sounds like a 5sgte is what you want then, the FE head has a nice torque line on the 5sfe and is tuned for lower range operation (shines below 5500rpm). the GE head rules the upper rpm band (above 4500) and from what i understand will flow more than the FE head, but you may not get as much off the line prespool power and may not spool as low as with the F head. but if you're running the right turbo, it wont matter.
